RISE UP FOR ROJAVA – Film screening + Discussion

Right now the people of Rojava are facing an existential threat as the authoritarian Syrian Transitional Government, alongside jihadist militias backed by the Turkish state, launches a large scale invasion of the territory. Let’s come together to share news of what is happening in Rojava now, why it’s important to defend the revolution, and how we can support from here!

The Resistance of Tishreen is a powerful film made during a months-long peace vigil to protect the Tishreen dam from Turkish bombardment a year ago, bringing to life the spirit of resistance that drives the Kurdish liberation struggle and the Rojava Revolution.

Berxwedan Jiyane! Resistance is life!
