Although barely known in mainstream culture, millions of people currently live in a region that practices grassroots empowerment through democratic confederalism, engaging in the most far-reaching social revolution of the 21st century. They live in Syria’s Kurdish-majority Northeast, commonly referred to as Rojava.
Despite conditions of constant war and isolation, the people of Rojava are building and defending a society rooted in principles of direct democracy, women’s autonomy, cultural diversity, cooperative economics, and social ecology. They govern themselves, not by a nation-state, but through a federation of participatory local councils.
In this panel discussion on the Deep Transformation Network, Jeremy discusses the details of the Rojava experience with two journalists who have visited there extensively.
