BUILDERS
UKRAINE
Empowering Ukrainian Builders in their fight for freedom and democracy.
On February 24, 2022, Russia launched an unprovoked, full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian forces have killed, raped, and tortured hundreds of thousands innocent Ukrainians, and abducted at least 19,546 Ukrainian children into Russian territory. Under relentless attack by Russia, the Ukrainian people have shown great resilience.
We believe that Ukrainians are Builders who are fighting an autocratic Destroyer, to protect their freedom and democracy.
In partnership with our program co-chairs, we have launched a campaign to keep the plight of Ukrainian people top of mind for Americans and the world.
Here is how you can help:
ABOUT THE CO-CHAIRS
Chef and humanitarian José Andrés; global human rights and pro-democracy activist Garry Kasparov; social entrepreneur and KIND Snacks Founder Daniel Lubetzky; actor, director and writer Liev Schreiber, and Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman understand the importance of freedom and democracy through their personal experience and family stories. Through their various streams of foreign policy, humanitarian, and peace-building work, they have experienced first-hand the global interconnectivity of democracy and the critical role of citizens in upholding democratic values like those the Ukrainian people are bravely defending.

In 2022, chef and humanitarian José Andrés; global human rights and pro-democracy activist Garry Kasparov; social entrepreneur and KIND Snacks Founder Daniel Lubetzky; and Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Vindman welcomed 20 Ukrainian students into a pro-democracy scholarship program at U.S. colleges and universities. The initiative, in partnership with the Institute of International Education and the Renew Democracy Initiative was designed to foster on-campus alliances in support of democratic values.
