RRUSA RRUSA feels a deep sorrow for all who have been affected by the recent invasion and political turmoil between Ukraine and Russia over the last few weeks. So, we as students in RRUSA would like to find solutions in equity and justice which we can implement into our daily lives. RRUSA stands with those who are affected by this war and those who are working to end all wars.
We stand with the Ukrainian people all over the world – in BC, Canada, and beyond.
We stand for the restoration of democracy and peace in Ukraine.
We have seen and read reports of innocent people seeking for safety, threats made on civilians, and institutions being bombed – going against the basic principles of providing safe spaces for all to learn, play, and study.
