Dear all,

 The Transnational Solidarity Initiative warmly invites you to *a
discussion panel,* titled *Resistance in Kobane: Democratic Autonomy and
the Rojava Revolution*, on *Friday, December 5, at room 407 Illini Union at
2:30 PM.*

 In recent months, the city of Kobane has attracted the attention of the
international media due to the courageous resistance of its
people against the 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.

 We hope to see you there.

 Best,

 The Transnational Solidarity Initiative
