Memo 0xc3e82f31…d9f512 on Ethereum

{"projectName":"Kurd DAO","shortDescription":"Since the end of World War I, the Kurds have maintained solidarity despite continual displacement and being subject to hegemonic powers, genocides, and aggressions across Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. The Kurdish people want to be recognized as worthy of human rights and freedom, and as representatives for hope against many forms of oppression. They want their story to not only be told, but to be seen and heard around the world. Therefore, KurdDAO supports Women Liberation, holds panels and events to create possibilities for open discussion on the situation in Kurdistan and provides legal defense for the more than 10,000 political prisoners.\n\nSupporting KurdDAO meets all three Cult DAO proposal criteria. In fact, meeting each one in effect enhances the other two. This is because the investment is in support of a human community which lives these values. It supports the true vision of the Cult DAO Manifesto as being about humanity and life, not merely instrumentally valuable finance. Here is why:\n\nSupports decentralization: KurdDAO is a voice of support for, among other parts of Kurdistan, Rojava. This is the autonomous region of northern Syria which follows a decentralized political economic system known as democratic confederalism. Their political economy functions in a decentralized way which is founded on respect for individual sovereignty and truly democratic decision making. In fact, as we have learned through the Spaces we’ve held, it is those at the neighborhood and local levels who hold power, with leaders functioning to enact the will of the people. In this way it is set up in a way which mirrors the power of The Many and the role of The Guardians in implementing their will.\n\nFights centralization: KurdDAO lifts up the voice of Rojava and other regions against attacks from the national socialist (Nazi) state under Assad (Syria) as well as the Turkish government.

Furthermore, Kurds have been fighting centralized tyrannical regimes since the splitting of Kurdistan by imperialists following World War I.\n\n\nIt is a noble cause most obviously now given that humanitarian aid to Rojava is inhibited by both deadly economic sanctions but also Assad’s (the Syrian dictator) stranglehold on incoming support. And, even had there not been deadly earthquakes, consider that this decentralized community has been fighting for survival for decades. The Kurdish community of Rojava is the embodiment of the philosophy, values, and action described in not only the Cult DAO Manifesto but also the original Medium article describing Revolt to Earn. \nWhat the people of Rojava fight for is the in-real-life manifestation of the parallel society Cult DAO is here to bring about. In the words of the original Revolt to Earn Medium article, “a self governing autonomous ecosystem”. \nTo learn about the women-led aspect of this, including self-defense against hostile centralized forces, watch this video of https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9LJB5AbVKg\n\nIf the proposal is executed, the funds will be directly sent to a gnosis multi-signature wallet from where they will be used to a mint a Freedom Flower NFT at 13Eth. These funds will then be utilized by Kurd DAO in international dialogue broadcasting the war crimes and genocide still committed against Kurds today. \n\nLastly, this is our opportunity to unite elements of crypto on behalf of a common cause. The Freedom Flower NFTs serve as a rallying call to other DAOs that the Cult DAO community supports on-the-ground decentralization, that The Manifesto is itself a call to action, and that communities can join in our common struggle against centralized tyranny. \n \n","file":"N/A","socialChannel":"https://kurddao.org/\nhttps://twitter.com/KurdDAO","links":"N/A","range":0.25,"rate":"0","time":"Day","checkbox1":true,"checkbox2":true,"wallet":"0x958FfD97c7F87Ed21eF909d6744E6A129e6aD816","guardianProposal":"Carlton Bags","guardianDiscord":"@CarltonBags","guardianAddress":"0x0fd901bAC3530D7f2C66293BC763Ba63312A7a35"}
