Tubman Network
We are the Tubman Network, a coalition of Black organizations and individuals, supported by Bi_PoC individuals and white allies.
We have existed so far as an emergency response to Bi_PoC fleeing war in Ukraine but being left behind in all exspects of this humanitarian crisis.In Ukraine, all European countries and in the US they get the help they would need denied.
On the 28th February 2022 black and brown organizations as well as individuals decided to form our coalition so we can put this horror to an end. Bi_PoC and white volunteers joined us on this mission. Ever since then we provided 1300+ people who reached out for help with access to evacuations, shelter, medical treatment, food, clothes, hygiene products, psychological treatment, legal advice and a community.
