Dear Senator Sinema,
On behalf of the Arizona Defense Coalitions — the Yuma 50, Mesa Industry and Defense Council (MIDC), West Valley Defense Alliance (WVDA), Northern Arizona Military Affairs Council (NAMAC), and Southern Arizona Defense Alliance (SADA) — we applaud the United States for providing $2.4 billion in security assistance to Ukraine, including weapons, ammunition, and body armor to Ukrainian troops. However, we want to remind Congress not to overlook Ukrainian civilians on the ground – those who are evacuating and those who are remaining in their country—who are facing a humanitarian crisis the Western world has not seen in generations.
