Episode notes

Flaxport has team members in neighboring countries, and so they are working on the ground with our partners. Every signal that we're receiving right now indicates a larger response than previously anticipated. There is also just a big need for reunification. So this crisis affects people on so so many levels. We have to look out for each other. Because maybe in a couple of years, it might be you that is needing help.

“My big call to action would be to support existing organizations,” says Susy Schöneberg, the founder and head of Flexport.org, the nonprofit arm of the logistics firm Flexport. Schöneberg and her team are organizing complex shipments of relief goods to Ukrainian refugee sites across Eastern Europe; she breaks down how her organization has been safely managing the flow of goods toward displaced refugees and the best way you can get involved — as a citizen or company. She leaves us with a lesson that applies to any crisis: joining together can produce far better results than trying to do it alone.
