24.02 Fund was established after the full-scale invasion of Russia in Ukraine.
They raise money to procure and provide PPEs for fellow journalists and newsrooms around Ukraine – bulletproof vests, helmets, first aid kits, gas masks, and means of communication. They help evacuate journalists and/or their families to safer places. Every media worker or organization can leave their application as needed – they process all requests and send equipment ourselves from Lviv, Ukraine.
Reel Causes partners with filmmakers and Canadian causes dedicated to addressing global social justice issues. We host film screenings followed by a Q&A session to educate and inspire our community, and provide a forum for authentic conversation around the issues that affect us locally.
We acknowledge that Reel Causes and its events are held on the unceded Indigenous land belonging to Coast Salish peoples.
