Remembering Anna Campbell

Anna Campbell was a friend of the Easton Cowgirls and joined us on tour to Antwerp. She was sadly killed in Syria last year. There is a gathering on 15th March to remember Anna and celebrate what she believed in, to which all are welcome https://www.facebook.com/events/556358571535857/

“15th March 2019 marks the first anniversary of when we lost Anna Campbell. Anna went out to Rojava, the Kurdish region of Syria, to join the Kurdish struggle against fascism. She was inspired by the revolution because of the politics of direct democracy, feminism and environmentalism and fought with the YPJ (Women’s Protection Units), who have been at the forefront in the fight against ISIS. Anna was killed by a Turkish airstrike whilst defending the city of Afrin.

Anna lived in Bristol before she left for Rojava, and throughout her life was active in many groups and causes, including prison abolition, feminism, anti-fascism and animal liberation.

Join with us to remember Anna and all those who have fallen in the struggle, and to take a stand for all that she, and we, believe in. The demonstration will be followed by a gathering at Hydra Bookshop, where Anna volunteered, to launch a zine made by Anna’s friends and comrades and to (hopefully) link up with the Internationalist Commune in Rojava. If you have ideas or contributions for the gathering please get in touch by email on bristolantifascists@riseup.net.

Friends, comrades and all those who wish to remember Anna and others are welcome. Meeting point is the International Brigades plaque at 2pm.”
