Razom (укр. Разом) is a non-profit Ukrainian-American human rights organization established to support the people of Ukraine in their pursuit of a democratic society with dignity, justice, and human and civil rights for all. Razom (which means “together” in Ukrainian) believes deeply in the enormous potential of dedicated volunteers around the world united by a single goal: to realize a free and democratic Ukraine. Razom uses powerful social networking tools to unite a global network of individuals, institutions and organizations into a coordinated effort supporting this shared goal. == History == * Dec. 2013 Established the private Facebook group Ukrainians Abroad for Euromaidan (now, over 3500 members) * Jan. 2014 Board of Directors established and Razom, Inc. registered as a non-profit incorporated entity * Feb. 2014 Established the public Facebook page (Razom For Ukraine ) (now, over 12500 followers) At first, there were impromptu demonstrations in New York and Washington in December in support of Ukraine’s efforts to oust corrupt president Viktor Yanukovych. At that time, President Barack Obama’s administration largely stayed out of what appeared to be a domestic issue in Eastern Europe, as pockets of Ukrainian-Americans – there are about 900,000 of them in the U.S. – brought attention to the country’s sincere fight against an abusive government. Soon it became clear that the Ukrainian Diaspora could do much more, and the community organization Razom for Ukraine (Together for Ukraine) was established. With a core group of only a half-dozen people, it loosely unites various Ukrainian activists throughout the U.S. and maintains a global network of over 2,000 people. The supporters are doctors, engineers, educators, as well as legal and financial professionals.〔Forbes.
