This update on the current situation in Syria will give context on the huge changes occuring throughout Syria, with a particular focus on water, cooperatives, and the struggle for the means of life in the North-East (Rojava). We'll hear directly from a local member of the Water for Rojava Committee on the changes he is seeing, with a chance to discuss what meaningful solidarity could look like.

Who is organising this?

Who is this for?

People in cooperatives who want an update of the situation and the work being done on the ground, and anyone else who is interested.

This webinar is free to attend, though donations are greatfully accepted to support the work we are doing.
