Right now, we are witnessing the invasion of Ukraine by Russia -- an unprovoked act of war by a dictator bent on restoring a domain that collapsed 30 years ago. We watch from the sidelines in safety as President Biden and other NATO leaders struggle to find ways to influence the situation without declaring war. We cannot stop the invasion and we cannot prevent the suffering of the Ukrainian people. But we can make sure that we are NOT indifferent by bearing witness.

By staying informed, we fight indifference.
