Sometimes, particularly if you live far away from the country of your origins, it might seem that there is very little that we can practically do to support those in need.
However, sometimes it is equally important to:
* Simply be
* Show solidarity with our fellow human beings
* Demonstrate that local and global unity might bring some hope
* Support members of our community; often our friends, neighbours or work colleagues, who feel angry, confused or devastated
Join me in solidarity with Ukraine on Saturday (26th February) at 4pm. We are meeting around the fountain in Welwyn Garden City town centre.
Do come along, if you can.
I am not Ukrainian but I stand with Ukraine today.
* Michal Siewniak is a Lib Dem activist and councillor for Handside ward, Welwyn Hatfield.
