Join the VOICE Coalition for a special edition of the 'Our VOICES' series in support of our Q4 Quarterly Cause; amplifying events happening around the globe that have impacted our GumGum team members.
To bring awareness and support to those affected by the ongoing war in Ukraine, and to provide a safe space for discussion and learning, we will be hosting a fireside chat with Oleksiy Gamaliy (based in EMEA) and Brooks E.Scott, the Executive Coach and Chief Culture Curator of Merging Path Coaching, who will join us as the moderator for this session.
What is happening in Ukraine?
Civilians in Ukraine are being targeted and fleeing their homes in what the United Nations calls the fastest-growing refugee crisis in Europe since World War II.
More than 7 million people have fled across borders to seek safety since Russia deployed its military into neighbouring Ukraine on February 24. Bombs and shelling have continued, deliberately targeting homes and civilian infrastructure in what could become the worst humanitarian crisis Europe has seen in decades. Ukrainian territorial gains in mid-September have exposed large-scale damages and an extreme need for humanitarian support in regions formerly held by Russian forces.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has caused the fastest displacement crisis seen in Europe since World War II and may cause more human suffering than the continent has seen this century. The world is bearing witness to the deaths of innocent civilians, the destruction of homes and infrastructure, and massive displacement of families within Ukraine and beyond.
The 6.5 million internally displaced Ukrainians are increasingly vulnerable as the war continues and they face the coming winter months. At particular risk are those seeking shelter in buildings that lack electricity or water, or that have been damaged by the war.
The VOICE Coalition is launching a monthly series titled ‘Our VOICES’. Our VOICES, inspired by our WGG Inspiration Sessions - allow us to listen, learn and AMPLIFY the voices of GumGummers and folks from underrepresented and non-majority groups, through education, active engagement, and discussion, in a safe and supportive space.
We look forward to seeing you there!
