An estimated 3.5 million refugees have now fled their homeland of Ukraine, mostly to Poland and neighboring countries. Others have traveled to the Bay Area where lawmakers say more will follow.
“It’s important people here will be ready to help those women and children,” said Dmytro Kushneruk. “Those families with some housing on a temporary basis.”He’s been writing letters and working with local politicians urging them to help.“Helping people reintegrate into society. Having people get temporary work permits, that would be amazing,” said Boutchko. “Right now, people who I talk to, not just my family, are stuck somewhere in the middle of the woods.
He added that legal assistance to get visas is also needed as communities step up to help the millions displaced.
