# Razom for Ukraine A **501(c)(3)** founded in **2014** by Ukrainian and Ukrainian-American volunteers during the Revolution of Dignity. Headquartered in New York City, with offices in Washington, D.C., Kyiv and Lviv. "Razom" means "together." Its work runs under three pillars: - **We Deliver** — tactical medical kits, evacuation vehicles, winter supplies, water filtration units and secure shelters. - **We Educate** — trauma-care and mental-health training for first responders, healthcare fellowships and equipment, and vocational training for displaced people and veterans. - **We Activate** — advocacy, cultural diplomacy and civil-society support. ## Why it matters This wiki pays a great deal of attention on the Russian side of the influence equation — [[Russian Influence]], the back-channel figures, the sanctions fights. Razom is the organized counterweight on the Ukrainian side, and it is the thing that most often goes unexamined: a diaspora advocacy operation working the same Washington it does. Its advocacy team, working with a coalition of dozens of organizations, claims a share of the credit for the **$61 billion Ukraine aid package** Congress passed — a claim the organization makes about its own work and which is recorded here as such. It describes its congressional strategy as building **bipartisan** partnerships, which through 2026 became the harder half of the job as Republican support fractured. See [[Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026]] and [[Putin Trilateral Summit Proposal 2026]]. The symmetry is the analytical point. A sanctioned Russian state financier negotiating with presidential envoys, and a diaspora nonprofit lobbying congressional offices, are both foreign-interest advocacy. They differ in disclosure, in legal form and in whose state power stands behind them — and those differences are what the wiki should be comparing, rather than treating one as influence and the other as activism. ## See Also - [[Ukraine]] · [[Russian Influence]] - [[Lindsey O.
