Demonstrating their commitment to Ukraine’s resilience and recovery, nearly 700 advocates, experts, and community leaders from all 50 states participated in the seventh Ukraine Action Summit in Washington, D.C.
Hosted by the American Coalition for Ukraine, the summit kicked off with an expo, granting The HALO Trust the opportunity to showcase its lifesaving work clearing explosive ordnance and landmines in Ukraine. It was also a chance for HALO to network with other groups and highlight the amazing work being done in Ukraine to support affected areas.
During the advocacy days, HALO met with 12 congressional offices to highlight the scale of explosive contamination that continues to threaten Ukrainian communities, and discuss the critical importance of humanitarian demining for Ukraine’s economic recovery. HALO remains committed to working alongside partners and policymakers to ensure that Ukraine’s communities can rebuild and thrive, free from the threat of explosive remnants of war.
HALO sends a sincere thank you to the offices of Representatives Brian Fitzpatrick, Mike Kelly, Lloyd Smucker, Rob Bresnahan, Guy Reschenthaler, Jahana Hayes, Rick Larson, Maggie Goodlander, and Joe Courtney, as well as the offices of Senators Dave McCormick, Richard Blumenthal, and Maggie Hassan for their dedication and participation.
HALO representatives were proud to connect with a passionate network of activists, policymakers, and volunteers dedicated to supporting Ukraine’s path toward recovery.
