On YouTube, many livestreams and maps reveal the current impact on Kiev and show how people are reacting to the war.

Even something so simple as a rainbow pin on a teacher’s lanyard that tells a student “You’re safe to be yourself here,” presents such an invaluable message. While physical representations of support are necessary, it’s important to continuously acknowledge that all students must be respected. To this end, there is more work to be done here, throughout our country, and the world. Sometimes, hearing and listening to perspectives can be a unifying experience.
