Kyiv Independent, is Ukraine's English-language media outlet, created by journalists who were fired from the Kyiv Post for defending editorial independence. They serve their readers and community, and nobody else. Website: https://kyivindependent.com/

Independent media consortium, is a network of smaller independent media and journalism outlets that came together to fundraise in order to make sure Ukrainians could continue to get reliable local news as the war intensified.

"I think the organizations we have chosen to support are a good option to easily and quickly get aid to people in need in a way that connects Jews to their families and our family heritage. It will also help all groups displaced and impacted people there." - Robin Beck, President, The Max and Anna Levinson Foundation

Attorney Levinson believes strongly in giving back to the community, or Tzedakah in Hebrew. As a proud resident of Southern California, Levinson lives his life by the principle that we should all try to leave the world a little better than we found it.
