Razom for Ukraine, which translates as “Together for Ukraine,” was founded in New York eight years ago with a couple dozen members to promote their culture. 

Over the last few months, Razom has enlisted hundreds of volunteers and raised over USD 60 million to buy and transport medical supplies to war-torn Ukraine. 

In addition to fundraising, Razom also organises call campaigns and protests throughout the city.

Ukraine Action Summit

"The idea of the Ukraine Action Summit is to have this coalition put on this event. Over 30 organisations spanning different backgrounds, medical, humanitarian, advocacy, Baltic, Syrian, Afghan etc. , bring together all these different communities, have them bring their supporters to Washington, D.C., and meet with their representatives," Oleksa Martyniouk, director of research and policy at Razom's advocacy team, told reporter Danuta Isler ahead of the Ukraine Action Summit, which starts in Washington this Sunday.
