DESCRIPTION:
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. Register today for the largest radical conference on the West Coast this year. Choose from 60 workshops, discussions and speeches on a huge range of topics. Plus cultural events and dance parties! Here are just a few of the speakers and topics: Dr. Jess Ghannam (Al Awda), Wael Elasady, Paul Larudee, on Breaking the Siege of Gaza Mike Davis on California: The Coming Revolt Jeffrey St. Clair (Counterpunch) on BP, Corporate Crime, and the Environment Sonali Kolhatkar (KPFK), Derek O'Keefe on The Truth About Afghanistan Chris Hedges (Truthdig) on How Corporations Destroyed American Democracy Nativo Lopez, Justin Akers Chac?n on Arizona and the Fight for Immigrants' Rights Liliana Segura (Alternet), Jack Bryson, SF 8 on Legal Lynching In America Dave Zirin (the Nation) on Here Come Los Suns: Sports and Resistance to Arizona's SB 1070 Sherry Wolf on Sex Wars: From McCarthyism to Prop 8 Heather Rogers on Green Gone Wrong: How Our Economy Is Undermining the Environmental Revolution Joshua Frank on Clean Coal and Other Myths An Evening With Wallace Shawn Reading from his new book Essays PLUS: A People?s History of the Russian Revolution * Marxist Economics * Art and Revolution * Trotsky?s Fight Against Stalin * What Would Socialism Be Like * Introduction to the ISO * Education and Liberation ? Radical Pedagogy for Teachers * Students and Resistance * The Black Power Revolt of the 1960?s * History of Transgender Resistance * Imperialism and Resistance in Haiti * Anarchism ? Theory and Practice * American Indian Resistance *** Defending Abortion Rights and dozens more sessions! Over 900 people attended last year?s conference in San Francisco. This year we?re hosting it at the unionized Oakland Marriott in solidarity with Unite-HERE Local 2?s call to boycott major San Francisco hotels until they agree to give their workers a fair contract. What better way to spend your Fourth of July weekend than revitalizing the revolutionary traditions of struggle for social justice.
