threatened to do to Kobanê what he did to Afrin— ethnic cleansing, terrorism,

against these threats, and show our support for the people of Kobane as they
struggle against fascism once again. Call on all people to contact
their representatives in Congress to raise awareness of the situation, to
refuse to finance Erdogan's war effort by boycotting Turkish products,
services, and tourism, and to join this demonstration. Visit https://www.facebook.com/events/1945044462248743/.
