This Sunday, in collaboration with friends at Asheville for Justice, we're hosting an event on mutual aid and women's liberation! Come learn about Rojava, the revolutionary autonomous zone in Northern Syria. We'll be screening "Berxwedan Jiyaneand / Resistance is Life" and "I Am the Revolution," two films about Rojava, alongside a virtual Q&A with Ruken and Sultan of The Foundation of Free Women in Syria (Weqfa Jina Azad a Sûrî) and Savushka of Kongra Star.

We'll learn as we listen to stories of organized resistance, mutual aid, and solidarity without borders!

On Monday, August 11th, Firestorm Books will be hosting author Matt Broomfield for an online conversation with scholar Azize Aslan! Together they'll explore Rojava's tireless fight against oppression and how the militant Kurdish movement can help the Western Left relearn its commitment to hope in hopeless times.

Matt's new book published by AK Press, "Hope Without Hope," carries on the long tradition of history, absurdist philosophy, and radical thought that has studied how anti-fascist and anti-colonial movements answer defeat and repression with a revolutionary faith in transformation. Only by understanding this history can we pursue the steadfast work of organizing for long-term revolutionary change in our seemingly hopeless age.

Sign up for this free event and grab a copy of the book at https://firestorm.coop/events/3440-rojava-and-revolutionary-commitment.html. Can't make the event live? We'll send you a video recording to watch at your convenience!
