‼️ Update‼️
We are now expanding out advocacy campaign to include Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky because Senator McConnell has the ability to bring the STAND for Ukraine Act directly to the Senate floor.
In addition to emailing and calling to urge Chairman Corker and the SFRC, we must also urge Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, as his power as Senate Majority Leader can overrule that of Senator Corker.
Here is sample text for phone calls and emails to Senator McConnell:
"Hello, my name is (YOUR NAME) and my address us (YOUR ADDRESS). I am appealing to you TODAY to urge the Senate's leadership to bring STAND for Ukraine Act, H.R. 5094, for a vote before this Congress goes out of session in a few days. The Ukrainian-American community appreciates your support of Ukraine, and we urge you to continue sanctions against Russia, as well as asserting that Crimea is Ukraine, through making STAND for Ukraine into law. Please champion this very important issue for the future of a strong, independent, prosperous Ukraine, as well as Euro-Atlantic cooperation, European security and American principled leadership in the world!"
Senator McConnell's phone number is (202) 224-2541 and his email is https://www.mcconnell.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/contactform
Thank you!
