About The Event

In response to the Rojava Internationalist Commune’s call for two days of action on Jan. 27 and 28, the Emergency Committee for Rojava is organizing a rally in New York City on Sun. Jan. 27 at 2 PM in Union Square. Please save the date and join us!

The rally coincides with International Kobane Day, the fourth anniversary of the day Kobane triumphed, after a long and fierce struggle, in its battle with the Islamic State. During the battle for Kobane it was the outpouring of public pressure that finally forced the international powers to act. Now Turkey is threatening the entirety of Rojava and once again, it is imperative that we show the people of Rojava that they are not alone, and that we demand an end to U.S. complicity with Turkey’s war on the Kurds.

Proposed slogans for the demonstration are:

DEFEND ROJAVA

NO U.S. COMPLICITY WITH TURKEY’S WAR ON THE KURDS

#NoFlyZone4Rojava

The ECR and partners are also having a demonstration in San Francisco on Sunday, Nov. 27, at 12 PM in Union Square.

We hope you will join us, and help us build a strong presence.
