We’ve been thinking a lot about our organisational health at Ukraine DAO.

<aside> 💡 This page provides a summary of our guiding principles (Our values) and tips on how to grow and thrive as a member of Ukraine DAO.

These values are very important to observe in our every day coordination.

We believe these principles will smooth the onboarding process for new members and help all of us stay consistent with our vision as Ukraine DAO develops.

Philosophy

We are not neutral. Neutrality in the fact of evil, is evil.

Our Mission: Use the Power of Web3 tech and community to help Ukraine win the war.

1. Help defend Ukraine against the unprovoked russian invasion - including in the info space.

2. Counter russian propaganda and amplify Ukrainian voices.

3. Help rebuild Ukraine after the victory.
