Organization

The party includes different political offices, including party branches, an office for "civil affairs", a "women's office", civil defense and an armed branch known as the Anti-Terrorism Force. [6]

Policies

In an interview with Syria Direct, the head of the party, Malik Abu Khair, confirmed that the party was in favor of federalism. [7]
