What Can We Learn From the Rojava Revolution? (Free Skool Santa Cruz)

What Can We Learn From the Rojava Revolution – Tuesday August 26th / 6 p.m. with Rojava Solidarity Santa Cruz (Instagram @rojavasc1)

Location: SubRosa, 703 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA

Description: It’s been 13 years since the Rojava Revolution began in Northern Syria, yet it remains largely unknown due to censorship. We will provide a brief history and background on this struggle, which aims to build a decentralized society rooted in democracy, feminism, and communal life. Concrete examples of women’s freedom, restorative justice, and critical reflection will be provided. With this foundation we invite discussion on what we can learn from Rojava and how we might apply those lessons in our own communities. Organized by Rojava Solidarity Santa Cruz, founded in 2018.

Accessibility: Masks preferred, class may be held outside depending on weather.

A radically different approach to living and learning, Free Skool Santa Cruz is a grassroots educational project beyond institutional control. It is an opportunity to learn from each other and share what we know, to foster communities based on mutual support and autonomy (do-it-yourself-together!).
