THE GLOBAL BLACK COALITION
Supporting Vulnerable Black People

Ukraine
2022

THE COALITION

Joining forces
February 2022
ongoing 

For the first time in history, Black organizations and Allies across the world are forming a Global Black coalition to support vulnerable members of our community escaping the war.

We needed to come together as NGOs and civil society to create a Coalition to ensure the safety and equal treatment of Black people in Ukraine.
As many of you witnessed, since the beginning of the war, many Black people have suffered and are suffering racism while trying to escape the war in Ukraine and rebuild their lives outside of the country. Members of our community are being denied some of their fundamental human rights including the right to safety. 

 

The needs, rights and wellbeing of Black people in Ukraine were being ignored during what will no doubt be one of the greatest humanitarian crises of our generation.

We work hand in hand at the various borders, while some team members work together from their respective countries: Canada, The United Kingdom, The United States of America, France, Switzerland, Germany, Romania and Poland where civil society community members are helping coordinate on ground efforts.

Since its creation, the Global Black Coalition has achieved many milestones; from providing buses at the various borders and housing over 1000 community members, to developing partnerships with universities in North America and Europe; from pushing important policy changes to force many European and North American governments to equally welcome Black people fleeing the war in Ukraine to ensuring the safe evacuation of over 40 students in Kherson and Sumy Ukraine, our coalition is ensuring that members of our community are not left behind.

 

We are a growing coalition; we welcome all Black organizations and Allies around the world who’d like to join our cause if they pass they pass our due diligence verification.
