This is a difficult post to write, but its message is critical.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

While companies, governments, and individuals around the world struggle to comprehend and respond to the horrific attacks on Ukraine, the courage and strength of Ukrainians in the face of this terror leave us with one clear message: We must all stand with Ukraine.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

We are a company built on the importance of feedback, and of using technology and critical thinking to turn data into decisions. Today, the data is overwhelming and the decision is undeniable: We must all stand with Ukraine.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Our team is made up of real humans with real values. Not all of our families are Ukrainian, but some of them are. Not all of our friends are in harm\u2019s way, but some of them are. Not all of the places we\u2019ve lived and loved are being brutally devastated, but some of them are. As long as any of us are at risk, we all are: We must all stand with Ukraine.<\/p>\n

What can we do to help?<\/h2>\n

As a company and as individuals, we are donating to humanitarian organizations and initiatives to support those in Ukraine and those who have been forced to flee as refugees. We are raising our voices in advocacy, appealing to our elected officials and across our networks, rallying with crowds and praying at vigils. We are reading, listening, learning, and taking a critical approach to issues like misinformation, cybersecurity threats, and environmental impact \u2013 too many areas of concern to list.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

We stand with individuals and with businesses who are making clear and conscientious decisions to do the right thing. Some others throw up their hands and dismiss this situation as \u201ctoo complicated\u201d or \u201ctoo messy\u201d to get involved, while still others seem to hope that this war will somehow resolve itself if they just ignore it for long enough. Really?<\/p>\n

Connect<\/h2>\n

Over the past few weeks, I\u2019ve been devastated by the news, but also overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and connections. One friend told me she was really surprised to discover how many people in her life are connected to Ukraine. Yes. We are. Without too much effort, you may discover the same.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Now is the time to lean in. Explore Ukrainian culture and history. Wear blue and yellow. Put sunflowers in your vases and candles in your windows. Eat Ukrainian food. Read Ukrainian literature. Watch Ukrainian documentaries and comedies. Listen to Ukrainian music, of which there is an astonishing proliferation. Need a quick start?<\/p>\n
