Frequently some issues require action in the interest of our American-Ukrainian
community, in North Carolina or in the US, or regarding Ukraine or Ukrainian culture.
These actions, usually called Action Items, may consist of petitions to local or national
politicians, letters to media outlets (press, radio or TV) or to different types of
organizations. In order to be effective, it is important to have as many people as
possible addressing the issue at hand, sending letters, E-mails, faxes or making phone
calls, and sometimes a timely response is crucial. Whenever such an issue is brought
to our attention, we will ask our members to help us by taking the appropriate
action.
