Dear DEV Community,

I wanted to let you know that Forem (the open source software company behind DEV) has made a donation to Mercy Corps to support the Ukrainian people whose country is currently being invaded. Mercy Corps is an organization focused on humanitarian aid and building community.

Our hearts go out to our community members and colleagues that are most directly impacted by this war and to all who are hurting (especially to the countless displaced Ukrainian families).

We are humbled by those of you who have shared how this devastating attack has impacted you personally. We hope that you are able to find connections with other like-minded people in places like DEV — now more than ever.

If you are similarly compelled to make a donation in support of the Ukrainian people yourself, you can donate to Mercy Corps here. For other giving directions, here is a resource to check out with a lot of other options for impact.

Those of us lucky enough to have never experienced this type of strife firsthand must collectively act to help the best of humanity shine during times of atrocity. Anyone with a platform, no matter the size, has the power to be a steward of a better tomorrow. ❤️
