June 17-20, Chicago: Socialism 2010
  http://www.socialismconference.org/chicago/
   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, the banks are unregulated, 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.

   Speakers in Chicago include Tariq Ali, Anthony Arnove, Eric Ruder,
   Liliana Segura, Paul Street (who spoke in C-U last month), Sherry Wolf,
   Marlene Martin (Campaign to End the Death Penalty), Dave Zirin, and many others.
