Alongside @akanewjersey, we delivered a letter signed by VT leaders, including Lt Gov @zuckermanforvt & @VT_AFLCIO President Katie Maurice, urging @SenSanders, @WelchForVTSen & @RepBeccaB to oppose US weapon sales to #Turkey and demand an end to its ongoing attacks on NE #Syria.

The area of Northeast Syria known as Rojava is a model eco-feminist, ethnically-inclusive direct democracy. Join us to learn more about this society of 5 million Arabs, Kurds and others who are self-governing - and why Turkey is trying to destroy it.

LED protest in NYC in front of the Turkish consulate and Times Square to celebrate the birthday of Abdullah Öcalan, the revolutionary leader of the Kurdish movement. New York’ta Türk Konsolosluğu önünde LED ekranda ‘Abdullah Öcalan’ https://t.co/gScbUGCCOg #FreedomForOcalanNow

[Samira Ghaderi @Samira_Ghaderi]

Today in NYC on the 72nd birthday of Abdullah Ocalan— the founding father of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

Ocalan has been imprisoned in Imrali since 1999, where he was kept in solitary confinement for over a decade, & sporadically in recent years.

Notably, it was Ocalan's ideology that gave birth to the Kurdish slogan "Jin Jiyan Azadi," which emphasizes the importance of women's liberation, as he believed that society can only be truly free when women are fully free.
