Robert Grodt (February 23, 1989 – July 6, 2017) was an American anarchist and street medic, best known for his involvement with the Occupy Wall Street movement[1] (2011) and his participation and death in the Battle of Raqqa[2] (2017), for the YPG.[3]
In Rojava he took the pseudonym Demhat Goldman in tribute to the anarcha-feminist Emma Goldman. At his funeral, several western anarchist fighters were orators. On the way to the cemetery its body was accompanied with an anarchist flag.[citation needed]
He is survived by his daughter, Teagan Grodt.[citation needed]
