VOA INTERVIEW | JOHN JAMESON URGES FUNDING FOR DEMINING IN UKRAINE
John Jameson, a mine-clearing campaigner who recently visited the country, said Ukraine needs every penny.
“The deminers were working while we heard the sound of artillery going on,” he told VOA, on Zoom. “And they're doing that because they know it's essential for them to be able to start farming and producing and going back to work now so they can live so they can not only just to fight the war but so they can live but no, we can't wait until the fighting is over.”
John Jameson is the president and founder of Winning Connections, a national direct voter contact firm that works for advocacy groups, associations and Democratic candidates. He voluntarily serves as a global ambassador for The Halo Trust, a nonprofit global mine-clearing organization.
