Our Mission
The Emergency Committee for Rojava (ECR) was founded in 2018 in response to Turkey’s invasion of Afrin. Our mission is to defend Rojava (Democratic Federation of Northern Syria), popularize its political ideas, campaign against US complicity in Turkey’s war on the Kurds, and urge the resumption of peace negotiations between the Kurdish movement and the Turkish government. We believe Rojava’s experiment in democratic confederalism, built on principles of pluralism, ecology, and feminism, offers a new model of radical democracy in a world that clearly needs one.
