Mitch MConnell, Mike Johnson, Pat Schumer and the effort to get Ukraine Aid passed through the US Congress in April 2024
04/26/2024
At a critical juncture which Lyrarc compared to the 1948 effort by Harry Truman to get Congress to support aid to Greece and Turkey. Devastated by the war Greece and Turkey's democracies faced an imminent threat from a Communist takeover supported by the Soviet bloc. Ukraine was at a critical juncture in the war with Russia when Biden met Republican Speaker Mike Johnson at the White House with Mitch McConnell and Pat Schumer in Feb 2024. Schumer said a lot of the credit goes to McConnell to convince 31 Republican Senators a majority of his caucus to support Ukraine Aid at a critical moment.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
