Week of Solidarity With Ukraine Is About To Start
In late January we called on our comradely initiatives and activist groups to hold events to mark the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. We are grateful to everyone who reacted to it or decided to organise events to support Ukrainian resistance independently. It is nice to see that, unlike volatile politicians, genuine solidarity between progressive powers remains still!
Therefore we’re pleased to invite you to join street demonstrations, film screenings and concerts organized by antiauthoritarians in solidarity, and they start tomorrow! The list turned out to be quite impressive.
