Friends,
As we face the politicization of aid to Ukraine and uncertainty over who will become the next Speaker in Congress, whether Ukraine will continue receiving aid and how long it will take to pass has become increasingly uncertain. Scalise and Jordan are battling for support to become the next Speaker, and Jordan has already stated he is against further aid to Ukraine. He has also previously voted against every piece of legislation involving aid to Ukraine.
If you live in the US and support Ukraine, it is incredibly important that you reach out to your representatives. This is especially true if you live in a Republican district.

Better yet, if you’re willing to call - do it!
Each message is counted by the aides of representatives. This will take seconds from your day, but can have a colossal impact on how this war ends.

Hi, my name is ENTER NAME, and I live in your district — my zip code is ENTER ZIP.
I'm appalled by the politicization of aid to Ukraine and urge your office to:
(1) to support additional funding for Ukraine, and
(2) to oppose any candidate for the Speakership who does not fully support Ukraine.
Spending only 5% of the US annual defense budget to destroy half of Russia’s military, with no boots on the ground and little risk to US lives is a fantastic investment. Moreover, as of this September, Europe has overtaken the US in total aid provided. The argument that Europe is not doing enough is simply not true.
Ukrainians are very grateful for the support the U.S. has provided thus far. Cutting off aid now makes America unreliable, weakens the cause of democracy, threatens the international legal order, encourages tyrants around the world, and hastens Chinese aggression.

Thank you, and please share this with your friends.
