Welcome Connect is a platform to help request asylum in the United States. The site was launched in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Many Ukrainians sought refuge in other countries, but families were unable to easily offer their welcome. More than 200,000 Americans sponsored Ukrainians, mostly family members or friends, but 3,000 did not. In the board of directors, there are no less than three presidential couples, including the Bush couple, the Clinton couple and the Obama couple. The organization was created when the U.S. evacuated 100,000 refugees from Afghanistan.
