It’s easy to quickly feel horrified, devastated, and overwhelmed by the news and images coming out of Ukraine. Russia’s war on the country has left the rest of the world stunned and saddened, yet eager to show their support for Ukraine. And although it’s easy to feel helpless (and understandably so), there are small ways we can all be proactive — starting with the brands we spend our money with.
