 so-called Islamic State. These news reports, however, rarely touch upon the political commitments and projects of the Rojava revolution of 2012 in the same region and the decades spanning the history of the Kurdish liberation movement in the Middle East. We
 invite you to participate in a conversation about the most recent chapter of resistance in the long history of the Kurdish movement, which is taking place in Kobane today. </span></font></font></div>
