How Can You Help Ukraine?

A message from the Editor-in-Chief, Niki:

The Invasion of Ukraine is absolutely terrifying. These daily events are not in the name of all Russians. My heart reaches to all that condemn this atrocity and speak out. The ability to be empathetic, compassionate, and connect with others (even more in distressful times) is critical to our everyday lives, both personally and professionally. So I am moving forward with this posting rather emotionally.

My online culture hub & global team of giveitaspin.gr stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people. For sure there is still war, racism, irony, hypocrisy, and oppression in this world, we are not closing our eyes to any events. However, we must do our greatest every day – from now on even 1001% more – to change society and move forward globally with democracy, freedom, unity, and positivity! Peace on Earth! “We come 1” as Faithless plays.

If you are seeking info on how to provide support at this time I’ve gathered some helpful resources (documents, podcasts, links) from Music Export Ukraine, @Music Export Latvia, COMPASS MUSIC | LIGHTHOUSE, EUROPAVOX, Music Ally, Keychange, Sergey from Trip Hop Nation, Create Digital Music

to raise awareness with my (music) connections. I thank them for all the media updates.

I am willing to coordinate-compose a solidarity Bandcamp compilation (if an artist/label is interested in this project in Greece or abroad let me know – send us a message) to raise cultural awareness, & will create a Spotify playlist with my team to support the Music Industry / Labels of Ukraine by the end of the week.
