"Humanity, our core commonality, regardless of race, gender, and nationality is a thread tying every human being to each other. In our humanity we find hope, perseverance, mercy and the ever-prevalent desire to succeed and survive. Upon Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, globally, numerous communities have chosen to stand in solidarity, supporting the independence of Ukraine and amplifying the voices and never-wavering determination of the Ukrainian people." - excerpt from accompanying essay
