We are excited to invite you to a Report-Back from Rojava as part of our monthly meeting on Sep 19, 6:30PM EST, both in person (NYC) and online.

We will be joined in person by several activists, writers and researchers who have recently traveled to North East Syria and will share updates and observations from the region:

Arthur Pye is a writer and community organizer based in the Pacific Northwest. He is a member of the Emergency Committee for Rojava, and recently spent one year living and conducting research in North and East Syria.

Clara spent two years living in Rojava working first with the Rojava Information Center and then spending time with the women’s movement, including seven months with Mala Jin (Kurdish for Women’s House), the women’s restorative justice system. She has just returned from Syria in the past few months and is excited to be in dialogue with people interested in the work happening there.

Anya Briy is a member of the Emergency Committee for Rojava, based in New York. Her writing on Rojava has appeared in Jacobin, The Nation, Truthout and other outlets. She just returned from a 3 months long stay in the region.

We will also be joined in person by Meghan Bodette, Director of Research at the Kurdish Peace Institute.
The meeting will be in hybrid format, both in person in NYC and online. We will be meeting at CUNY Graduate Center (365 5th Avenue, NY 10016), CPCP Seminar Room 6107, 6th Floor.
