UNITED24 - The initiative of the President of Ukraine UNITED24 was launched by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the main venue for collecting charitable donations in support of Ukraine. Funds will be transferred to the official accounts…

Every #HeroPress essay has a banner made by the amazing Stacey Barton. This week she asked that the fee for making that banner be donated to a Ukrainian support fund. This week HeroPress donated to @u24.gov.ua to support #Ukraine in their fight for survival. Can you also help? #WordPress

“In a time when the #WordPress community faces challenges and divisions, #HeroPress stands as a unifying force. It’s more than a platform - it’s a movement driven by love, empathy, and the belief that everyone’s story deserves to be told.” @heropress.bsky.social
