Community Coalition hosting speaker June 18 about the war in Ukraine

Press Release, Community Coalition for Justice

ALBION – As part of its ongoing discussion about significant matters that face us as Americans, the Community Coalition for Justice brings you a presentation entitled the “Russian War In Ukraine.”

It will be held on Wednesday, June 18, at the Pullman Memorial Universalist Church at 10 East Park Street (corner of Main and Park Streets) in Albion.  The presentation begins at 6 p.m.

The main speaker is Dr. Steven J. Jurek, chairman of SUNY Brockport’s Political Science and International Studies Department.

About the war in Ukraine,  Dr. Jurek has said:

“The democratization process is heavily influenced by both domestic and international factors. Ukraine is no exception; history, economic, politics, culture and religion are all relevant in how Ukraine has struggled to consolidate democracy in the post-Soviet era and subsequently, the Russian war in Ukraine. Putin’s perception that any westward turn by Ukrainians exposes the fragility of Russian regional hegemony and in turn, threatens his own stranglehold on power in Russia helps us explain events for the last several decades in Eastern Europe and in particular the war of aggression against Ukraine.”

There will be a Question & Answer period and light refreshments. This a free event and all are welcome. There is easy disabled access.

The Community Coalition for Justice is a collaboration of people from the Albion Betterment Committee, the Social Justice Committee, People Embracing Diversity and the Pullman Memorial Universalist Church.
