Prompt
As designers, we have the ability to support others, drive change, and influence for the greater good. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the United Nation's refugee agency has reported that more than 5.5 million people have become refugees. During a crisis like this, women, children, marginalized communities, and the poor are those most affected. Help IBMers find ways to come together as a community, regardless of location, to support the people of Ukraine.
