Worth Fighting For: Bringing the Rojava Revolution Home

Worth Fighting For: Bringing the Rojava Revolution Home

This is the story of two internationalist volunteers who followed in the footsteps of our friend and comrade Anna Campbell and became part of the Rojava revolution. Anna left her home in England and travelled to northeast Syria to join the women fighters of the YPJ in the battle against the Islamic State. One year later, she was killed in the Turkish invasion of Afrin. Between us we spent another three years there, working alongside Kurdish revolutionaries and internationalists from around the world, and getting to know the movement that our dear friend decided was worth fighting for.
