Unequivocally, we’re proud of President Biden for the actions he’s taken thus far and his ongoing commitment to diplomatic resolution. He’s handled the crisis skillfully — raising the alarm early, steadily aligning allies behind a smart diplomatic strategy (and, in doing so creating a strong anti-authoritarian global alliance), and staying focused on avoiding escalation while holding Russia accountable.

Record a video now telling President Biden that this is the kind of leadership we need to see continue. Over the coming days and weeks, we all should be looking for the Administration to:

Pursue peace: President Biden must continue his focus on diplomacy to encourage Russia to cease its offensive
Hold aggressors accountable: The United States and our allies must continue ongoing and escalating sanctions targeting Putin and his oligarchs
Provide humanitarian assistance and relief to those impacted, including protections for Ukrainians in the United States: As of now, the United States has announced that we’re sending nearly $54 million in humanitarian aid. But, our responsibility doesn’t end there: we echo the calls of 177 organizations demanding protection for Ukrainians currently in the US, as well as calls to support resettlement for those currently fleeing the country as refugees.
Make urgent investments in green energy: This isn’t a silver bullet, but it is an important step in fighting back against authoritarian regimes like Putin’s.

Some politicians are using this moment to continue dividing the country and blaming the President for what’s happening in Ukraine. They’re wrong and it’s important we counter it.
