Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

4. Message from Roz Rubin,
CEO
• Good Morning!
• 45 YEARS--that’s a lot of pancakes!
It’s also a lot of history of this GWArc
event, originally known as “Pancake
Harvest”. There are guests here
today who remember picking up the
food donations, mixing the orange
juice, hauling in the rental pancake
grills and much more, to make the
original event an all-day success.
Here we are in the Embassy Suites,
our host, with no cooking or serving
to do….what a change and what a
pleasure! We hope you will enjoy
the day and bid high on Silent
Auction items, purchase some gift
items at the
Holiday Boo-tique and have fun with the
entertainment being provided. Many
thanks to our sponsors and donors and
you, the guests of this remarkable and
enduring day to support GWArc.
Have a great time!
5. Message from Board of Directors President, John

year of a community event. The Board of Directors join
me in thanking you for attending and supporting our
agency. The money raised today and in other fund
raising events is much needed to supplement GWArc’s
programs – offering additional purchases of adaptive
equipment, more experts for in music and art activities
for our participants and additional staff training, to name
a few. We recognize the support of community
sponsors and donors and you, the guests here today.
Special thanks to Joanne Raymond, Director of
