Since late February, Razom volunteers realized there would be a need to support a wave of displaced Ukrainians (DUs) to the US. Razom partnered with another Ukrainian nonprofit, Ukrainian Jersey City, and started providing assistance to newly arriving displaced Ukrainians on both sides of the river.

WELCOMING DISPLACED UKRAINIANS IN NYC:

There was a lot of uncertainty pertaining to the immigration solution for newly arriving DUs and whether these people could qualify for any assistance in the US. Razom promoted, hosted, and facilitated multiple immigration webinars and legal clinics that provided DUs with the most up- to-date information as well as free legal services.
