I am a YPOGold member with paternal heritage from the Ukraine. They came to Canada in 1921, forced out by the Bolsheviks in the Soviet–Ukrainian War. Let's not be bystanders this time. We need unified leadership from YPOI. We need to stand with Ukraine.

Former Chapter Chair Upper Canada Chapter, co-Chair of the Canadian Regional Conference and YPO Legacy Award winner. Also, a proud Ukrainian-Canadian. This is the time for responsible leadership from YPO.

As a YPOGold member I am embarrassed by YPOI lack of leadership on the Ukrainian War. We need to morally support them plus cut off all sources of funds to Russia. Next we need to raise funds for weapons and be ready to help rebuild the country when this war is won! Show real leadership.

Leadership takes courage. Ukraine people have shown the world the power and determination of courage. Truly, as an organization built on leadership, YPO membership must do all possible in the support of Ukraine.

I agree with all items in the petition, and, if legally possible to "sanction by YPO" the members that have been sanctioned by the international community.

Time to stop being a bystander.

YPOI needs to identify sanctioned members for the balance of the membership in order to allow all members to protect themselves from being subject to secondary sanctions. As a USA incorporated enterprise YPOI is subject to US law. Dealing with and benefiting from sanctioned monies puts us all at risk. Is YPOI now an illegal organization? Obtain a clean legal opinion if you can.

Always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

It is truly sad that YPO leadership needs a petition from its membership to do the right thing.

YPO needs to get out of its "hole" on this one.

While I respect YPO’s apolitical principles, this is a clear situation of right and wrong and requires all citizens of the world, especially business leaders to take a morally just position. This not a “slippery slope” situation.
