On April 23, Urban Stages and Ukrainian artists are raising emergency funds for medical supplies in Ukraine through RAZOM (a non-profit organization - whose name means “together” in Ukrainian - that has facilitated emergency aid to Ukraine since the Revolution of Dignity in 2014).
The ongoing invasion of the sovereign country of Ukraine has had unprecedented worldwide consequences and has horrified the world. Urban Stages is offering what we can, art and music, to raise funds and help address the humanitarian crisis that the people of Ukraine now face.
