RE-RELEASE: Ukrainians in SF Are Anxious and Angry

from Civic · host Sylvie Sturm

This week marks three years since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the conflict shows no signs of ending. On the eve of this grim anniversary, Russia launched its largest drone attack yet, causing widespread destruction and civilian casualties. Days later, the U.S. voted against a U.N. resolution calling for Russia’s withdrawal. In this episode, we revisit conversations first aired on April 7, 2022 — just six weeks after the invasion began — as San Francisco residents with deep ties to Ukraine were fearing for loved ones and desperately trying to help. From sending vital medical supplies to welcoming refugees into the Bay Area, their stories remain powerful and urgent as the crisis continues.

Lion with an open book (LIBER)Book shows the words “Pax tibi Marce, evangelista meus.”This is the peace-time flag.Symbolises Venice as a lawful, commercial, diplomatic republic.Used on state buildings, merchant ships, and most civic occasions.2. Lion with a swordThe lion holds a drawn sword instead of an open book.This is the war-time or military flag.Used historically by the Venetian navy and army.Symbolises defence, sovereignty, and martial authority. Upholding Matters David Paul What holds you up and what do you uphold? With the slipping of decency and decorum in our public and private spheres of life, and with once rock-solid faith in civic and social norms now in taters, many people are left feeling greatly concerned and uneasy about the future. We need to talk about this, about what we will uphold, and why that matters. And we will.
