This isn’t a ‘normal’ week (as if any week is normal these days), so I’ll scrap an attempt at a ‘normal’ column.
Here are the limited words I could muster on Twitter as Russia invaded Ukraine around midnight my time:
For Ukraine.
For the people of Ukraine.
For democracy.
For this to be the last, fruitless gasp of one of the world’s most ruthless tyrants.
For peace, justice, wisdom, and righteousness prevail to once this is behind us.
If you have any thoughts about how marketers and other business professionals can best support the people of Ukraine right now, I’d love to hear them.
For a good starting point of who to follow, my Ukrainian American friend Dora Chomiak has invaluable perspective.
This list from Gavin Sheridan shared by Justin Hendrix also looks comprehensive.
Meanwhile, in Texas…
There is no word but “cruelty” to describe the approach of the governor toward families with trans children. Read more here.
I texted someone I know in such a family. They’re packing up now and fleeing the state.
This is not a drill.
Again, please share thoughts on ways to help. We can circulate them in the community and newsletters, and beyond.
One other note on Texas…
I’ll be in Austin for SXSW March 11-15. Perhaps, as we all get together, some good can come out of it.
We’ll have a community get-together. I’m still firming up the exact time and place, but if you want to RSVP and get updates, visit https://sxsw-marketers.
Drinks will be covered, so if there’s a cause or other events you think we should be involved with, let me know.
For those going through a lot right now, whatever “a lot” means to you, if you’re reading this, there is someone who is here for you, and there are probably many more.
The community tagline is “marketers need marketers, too,” but it’s never just about marketers. We’re not marketers at our core; we’re people.
Trans or cis, Ukrainian or American, red or blue or pink or polka dotted, there’s so much good we can all keep doing for one another.
Peace to Ukraine, and love to all the multifaceted families of Texas.
