DESCRIPTION:
|
The Industrial Workers of the World -Inland Empire and the Mercedes Figueroa Solidarity Collective invites you to a forum on Rojava.
This forum intends to be an introduction to the revolution taking place in Rojava; the presentation will include a brief history of Rojava, how the revolution developed, the importance of changing gender roles within the revolution, and the broader implications this revolution is having in the contemporary anarchist movement.
The feature speaker will be Engîn - a socialist who was in an all-western fighting unit and fought in the Battle of Manbij. Engîn will be speaking about his experiences in Rojava.
The forum will include a memorial for Michael Israel who died fighting in the People's Defense Unit in Rojava last year.
We invite you all to come and to participate in the discussions after the presentations.
This event is free and open to anyone.
Solidarity,
Industrial Workers of the World- Inland Empire
