Lena Dunham Instagram – Like all of you, we’ve been watching with deep concern from our home- to be on the same continent as Ukrainian people and yet experiencing such a starkly different reality is a sharp reminder that we are all living unique circumstances, separated even from the people in our own communities by luck and circumstance, and we must keep our eyes peeled for how to act as everyday forces of good in what continue to be unprecedented times. In our home, that’s meant going through clothes to send on to Ukrainian refugees, donating to every place that will have us and supporting businesses based in Ukraine (while intentionally boycotting the Russian economy, inspired by governments and corporations who have ceased Russian trade.) None of this- and no social media post- can be as vital as the brave acts of protest we are seeing, or as heroic as the everyday people standing on the front lines to protect their country. As someone with Ukrainian heritage, it has always been a dream to visit- and I pray we can protect this way of life so that is still a possibility. In the meantime, we will do all we can to support a brave & beautiful nation. Below are a smattering of ideas you can try from your own home 🇺🇦 💙 Join me in donating to @careorg’s Ukrainian crisis fund, which is working to get food, water and hygiene kits to displaced women, children and the elderly (link in bio). 💛 Shop my favorite brand, @daily_sleeper, founded by amazing Ukrainian women giving back with every purchase 💙 Follow inspiring artist @yemchuk who has captured her native Ukraine with such style and grace again and again and is also sharing resources.
