Socialism 2010: Ideas for Changing the World.....conferences in Chicago and Oakland

[marmar]

http://www.socialismconference.org /


With the economy in shambles and with wars and occupations continuing, the challenge to change these conditions confronts us all. More than a year ago, millions placed their hopes in Barack Obama and the Democrats to solve these problems. But after months of broken promises and concessions to conservatives, jobs are scarce, health care reform is on life support, and full equality for LGBT people remains elusive.

Socialism 2010—to be held in both Chicago and Oakland—will provide an unparalleled opportunity for new and veteran activists and scholars to explore questions about how we got into this mess and how we can get out of it.

Last year, more than 1,800 people turned out to explore the history of struggles of ordinary people, to learn about radical figures who led social movements and to debate theoretical questions that can help us change the world.

Don’t miss the chance to meet, talk and socialize with hundreds of others like you who want to build an alternative to a system of greed, racism, war and oppression.

Featuring Tariq Ali, Chris Hedges, Dave Zirin, Dr. Margaret Flowers, Arun Gupta, Khury Petersen-Smith, Diane Feeley and many more.

Chicago June 17-20 and Oakland July 1-4
