Excerpt from medyanews.netThe Emergency Committee for Rojava, a New York-based organisation, is touring the West Coast of the United States during May, hosting a series of talks entitled, ‘Report from Rojava: Women’s Revolution, direct democracy, and social ecology in Northeast Syria.’
Debbie Bookchin and Arthur Pye introduce the tour in an interview with Medya News, providing a comprehensive overview of the organisation’s mission. They focus on the Rojava Revolution that emerged in the north of Syria during the Syrian civil war in 2012, and the broader implications of this Kurdish democratic confederalist movement for communities worldwide.
Formed after the invasion of Syria’s Afrin in 2018, the committee is the largest organisation in the US dedicated to Rojava solidarity work, Bookchin said. It has partnered with the Institute for Social Ecology for the tour, along with other sponsors.
