Let's support helping families on polish ukrainian border
Millionstock.com:
As a photographer I was impressed by the wonderful polish people that are helping privately thousands and thousands of ukrainian refugees.
I have created a fundrising to support those helpful people.
Thanks for supporting and sorry for the off-topic, but the situation here is really hard!

The wonderful polish people are rising a wall against dark skin refugees after throwing some stones to them:

--- Quote ---Poland has started building a wall along its frontier with Belarus aimed at preventing asylum seekers from entering the country, which cuts through a protected forest and Unesco world heritage site.
The Polish border guard said the barrier would measure 186km (115 miles), almost half the length of the border shared by the two countries, reach up to 5.5 metres (18ft) and cost €353m (£293m). It will be equipped with motion detectors and thermal cameras.

--- Quote ---Thousands of asylum seekers, mainly from Syria, Iraqi Kurdistan and Afghanistan, were caught attempting to cross the frontier and were violently pushed back to Belarus by Poland’s border guards, and hundreds of families were trapped in the forest between the two countries in the midst of a frigid winter.

Maybe Poland's government could use the 353M euros to help these families.

This is very courageous! A very brave woman!

The sign says:
Stop the War. Don't believe the propaganda. They lie to you!
She is now arrested (obviously), "for being a good person with a mind of her own", as one of the comments said.
This is the charity I used: https://novaukraine.org/ (mentioned before in one of those blocked name-calling threads)

You can donate directly to the ukrainian government if you want using crypto.
