In a world where earnestness is looked down on, this book is where we give ourselves permission to fall in love with a revolution. This book is a product of shared moments with hundreds of comrades, of tales hundreds of years old, of the novels we read as children, of militant struggles old and new, and of an ongoing conversation that\u2019s happening right now. We didn\u2019t start it and we certainly aren\u2019t trying to finish it. But the more people contribute the richer we can build the future. This is what we are committed to be a part of.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-bottom-right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecosocialist.scot\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F1929&print=pdf\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-pdf\" target=\"_blank\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ecosocialist.scot\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-print\/images\/pdf.png\" alt=\"image_pdf\" title=\"View PDF\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecosocialist.scot\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F1929&print=print\" class=\"pdfprnt-button pdfprnt-button-print\" target=\"_blank\" ><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ecosocialist.scot\/wp-content\/plugins\/pdf-print\/images\/print.png\" alt=\"image_print\" title=\"Print Content\" \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors Jenni and Natalia are launching their book describing their three years supporting the Kurdish&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1931,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[54,81],"class_list":["post-1929","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-scottish-news","tag-international-politics","tag-kurdistan"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Worth Fighting For - Bringing the Rojava Revolution Home, Book Launch Glasgow Govan Sun 6 August - ecosocialist.scot<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ecosocialist.scot\/?p=1929\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Worth Fighting For - Bringing the Rojava Revolution Home, Book Launch Glasgow Govan Sun 6 August - ecosocialist.scot\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Authors Jenni and Natalia are launching their book describing their three years supporting the Kurdish...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ecosocialist.scot\/?p=1929\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"ecosocialist.scot\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Ecosocialistscot-103724918653741\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-08-02T11:12:53+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ecosocialist.scot\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Worth-fighting-for.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"351\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"ecosocial_admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ecosocialistsc1\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ecosocialistsc1\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"ecosocial_admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ecosocialist.scot\\\/?p=1929#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ecosocialist.scot\\\/?p=1929\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"ecosocial_admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ecosocialist.scot\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/29db517fc2093a2845703e11b808fdba\"},\"headline\":\"Worth Fighting For &#8211;
