# Ukrainian-American Portal

> A 501(c)(3) nonprofit advocacy platform that helps Ukrainian Americans and allies contact U.S. Congress about legislation affecting Ukraine. Operated by Svitanok NYC Inc. Free, nonpartisan, and politically independent.

The site provides four things: (1) a real-time tracker of every active U.S. bill that affects Ukraine, (2) a directory of all 535 members of Congress with Ukraine vote records and ready-made call scripts and letter templates, (3) tools that let any constituent contact their two senators and one House representative by ZIP code in under a minute, and (4) a community feed of advocacy reporting from @svitanok.nyc, @svitanok.dc, and @uaportalorg on Instagram.

Bilingual (English + Ukrainian). All pages exist in two forms: `https://uaportal.org/<path>` (English) and `https://uaportal.org/ua/<path>` (Ukrainian).
