Building a New Left for a New Era
Socialism 2009
Revolutionary politics, debate and entertainment
June 18-21, Chicago
July 2-5, San Francisco
http://www.socialismconference.org

The world economic crisis has shattered the free-market consensus that
has dominated politics for the last generation.  Meanwhile, the end of
the conservative era and the election of the first African American
president have raised expectations among working people that long
overdue change is coming. With capitalism in crisis, even some in the
corporate media are admitting that Karl Marx was right.

There has never been a better time for those who want to see
fundamental change to get together to debate, to discuss and organize
for a new society—a society based on the needs of the many instead of
the whims of a few.  In other words, there has never been a better
time to organize a new socialist left to meet the challenge of this
new era.

That’s the purpose that Socialism 2009—expanded to two sites this
year—has set for itself.  Gather with activists from all over to take
part in dozens of discussions about changing the world: How can we
stop the economic madness?  Can we end racism?  What kind of
organization do we need?  What would a future socialist society look
like?

Yes we can organize for socialism in the 21st century!  Si se puede!
