Empathy Surplus is headquartered in Wilmington, Ohio. Wilmington has a Sister City relationship with Merefa, Kharkiv. Ohio has a Sister State relationship with Kharkiv. Kharkiv is 35 miles from the Russian front. Our contact in Ukraine is Dmytro Mykysha, who says monthly donations of any size save lives. Wilmington Yearly Meeting collects financial donations for our sister city, currently being used to buy radar jammers for ambulances to keep the Russians from targeting wounded civilians.
Empathy Surplus has pledged $60 to cover the bank wire fee any month Wilmington Yearly Meeting sends funds. That's a total pledge of $720 if Wilmington Yearly Meeting sends funds every month. Please go to Wilmington Yearly Meeting to create a monthly donation of any amount.

George Lakoff's Resources
The basic idea is this: Dr. Lakoff's resources are free and open to all. He will provide framing suggestions regularly over social media, and whoever receives them can decide how to use them, and whether to share them or retweet them. Dr. Lakoff's process is bottom-up.
Dr. Lakoff also offers this framing service to activist organizations, media folks, and elected officials and their staff.
