The event will feature a powerful visual installation of 20,000 teddy bears, with each bear representing a Ukrainian child who has been unlawfully deported or forcibly transferred by Russia during its war against Ukraine. Displayed downtown Bakersfield, the installation spans more than 200 feet and serves as a public call to action to bring these children home.

At 10 am we will hold a short press conference. Please come to hear your local elected officials and community activists speaking on this issue. You will have a chance to ask questions about an on going war in Ukraine and meet representatives from multiple non-profits that do humanitarian work in Ukraine and have first hand knowledge about the abducted kids issue.

The installation was created by Razom for Ukraine and was first presented in Washington, D.C. during ACU Summit in April. It was brought to California with help of American Coalition for Ukraine, Shield of Freedom and Globe4Ukraine. This coming Saturday the 11th the Teddy Bear Fence will be coming to Bakersfield, which will be its third and possibly last stop in California.
If you’re in the Bakersfield area, we’re looking for volunteers to help us on July 11. It’s a meaningful opportunity to stand with Ukraine, serve your community, and make a real difference. If you can help, please sign up for a volunteer slot here.

Discovery Call

The American Coalition for Ukraine Travel Fund helps ensure that passionate advocates from across the United States are able to participate in the Ukraine Action Summit regardless of financial barriers. The Summit provides a unique opportunity for participants from across the United States to exchange knowledge, share successful advocacy strategies, and engage in educational discussions about Ukraine’s current challenges and global significance. Through meetings with elected officials, delegates help ensure that policymakers remain informed about why sustained U.S. support is critical to Ukraine’s victory and long-term stability.

Travel and lodging costs can be prohibitively expensive for many people, and ultimately prevent otherwise enthusiastic supporters of Ukraine from attending the Ukraine Action Summit. The Travel Fund was created to address those needs by providing supplemental travel and housing assistance to selected constituents. 

The Chair of the ACU Outreach & Engagement Committee oversees the distribution of these funds, giving precedence to constituents from “top priority” districts of the United States, as designated by the American Coalition for Ukraine. These areas represent key districts where constituent voices can make the greatest impact toward our legislative priorities. 

By contributing to the ACU Travel Fund, you are helping to ensure that voices from every corner of the country are represented on Capitol Hill at the Ukraine Action Summit, and furthering our mission of educating the public, empowering advocates, and strengthening American support for Ukraine. 

Please consider making a donation to the ACU Travel Fund today to help us continue to grow, diversify, and strengthen our grassroots Coalition. 

You can choose amounts: $50, $100, $500 or enter your custom amount more than $2. 

Thank you for your compassion and support.
Slava Ukraini.
