Friends,

Please join our special meeting on outreach, education, and building community solidarity with Rojava, this coming Thursday August 18, 2022 at 7PM EDT/4PM PDT.

This meeting is being held especially for those who would like to show support for Rojava in ways that don't include advocacy with Washington, D.C. policymakers and that focuses instead on building solidarity at the local level through outreach and education.

In preparation for this meeting, here is the ECR mission statement:

The Emergency Committee for Rojava was founded in 2018 in response to Turkey’s invasion of Afrin. Our mission is to defend Rojava (Democratic Federation of Northern Syria), popularize its political ideas, campaign against US complicity in Turkey’s war on the Kurds, and urge the resumption of peace negotiations between the Kurdish movement and the Turkish government. We believe Rojava’s experiment in democratic confederalism, built on principles of pluralism, ecology, and feminism, offers a new model of radical democracy in a world that clearly needs one.
