Harry and Meghan Support Ukraine at the NAACP Image Awards

America’s favorite royals were there on Saturday, February 26, to receive the President’s Award for their social-justice advocacy and charity work.

In their less-than-three-minute speech, the couple managed to cram in a whole host of social and political issues. Meghan kicked it off by calling for “re-establishing federal voting protections” in the U.S. before Harry took over the mic to speak on the Ukraine crisis, saying, “We would like to acknowledge the people of Ukraine who urgently need our continued support as a global community.” Meghan then noted that the pair and their son, Archie, moved to the U.S.

To that end, Harry and Meghan used their speech to launch their new partnership with the NAACP, the NAACP-Archewell Digital Civil Rights Award. The annual award will give out one $100,000 stipend to leaders “that are creating transformational change at the intersection of social justice and technology — working to advance civil and human rights.” Harry and Meghan gave the inaugural award to Dr. Safiya Umoja Noble and her organization, Equity Engine.

It’s notable that Harry and Meghan, a woman who has been the subject of a reported online hate campaign on both Twitter and YouTube, are focusing on “digital justice” with their new award. In the second half of their speech, Harry described the internet as “a place where hate and discrimination are fueled instantly, propagated globally, and felt deeply.” Well … he’s definitely not wrong!

Tsar bomba!!! Oh poor stupid NATO!!! Tax thieves as NATO shall kneel down. NATO ran away from Ukraine... Where is hiding NATO Behind the lady skirt!!! Now, NATO should run away from earth... Hihihahahaha Stupid dumb Elon Musk made a flight for NATO to get on Mars...run run run
