Hello, my name is [YOUR NAME] and I am a constituent calling from [YOUR CITY/ZIP].

I am calling to urge Senator [SENATOR'S NAME] to cosponsor S. 2001, the Ukraine War Crimes Accountability Act.

Russia has committed documented atrocities in Ukraine. The massacre of civilians in Bucha. The deliberate targeting of hospitals and maternity wards. The torture of prisoners of war. The forced deportation of Ukrainian children. These are not allegations. They are documented facts confirmed by international investigators, journalists, and human rights organizations.

This bill supports International Criminal Court investigations, creates a special State Department envoy for war crimes accountability, and provides resources for evidence collection and prosecution. Impunity for war crimes does not just fail the victims. It emboldens future aggressors. If Russia faces no consequences, it will commit these crimes again.

America has a responsibility to lead on accountability. Will Senator [SENATOR'S NAME] cosponsor S. 2001?

Thank you for your time.

🇺🇦 300,000+ Ukrainians fled Putin's war & came here legally. Now they're in immigration limbo. The Ukrainian Adjustment Act (H.R. 3104) gives them a path forward. Call your rep: 202-224-3121 #UkrainianAdjustmentAct #HR3104 #StandWithUkraine
