Alexander Gaguine on the Stan

Alexander was a huge force in the Stanislaus campaigns and one of the key strategists in the overall non-violence approach used to fight the flooding of the river. He was an FOR staffer for many years along the way and a voice of passion and ethics. He says: “I’ve never been more certain of anything than this: it was wrong to destroy the life, beauty, and ongoing human experience and love of that place.”
