November 13-14 on the campus of University of Southern California

at the Davidson Conference Center

3415 S. Figueroa Street

Los Angeles, CA 90089

Saturday's program will begin at 9:30 am and end at 11 pm.

Here are just a few of the topics we hope you participate in:

(1) Resisting U.S. imperialism: Is it just bad policies or the system?

This panel will discuss imperialism, what it is, and how it affects people

across the world. It will examine the policies of the Bush regime and compare

them to what?s now happening under Obama. An overall analysis of Lenin?s thesis

on the subject also will be presented, along with discussion about Afghanistan,

Iraq, Palestine, the Philippines and elsewhere.

(2) Defending immigrant communities, fighting Islamophobia and the ultra-right

The rise of the Tea Party and neo-fascist organizations illustrates that the struggle

against racism is more important than ever. This panel will discuss the fight against

racism in the United States. Issues covered will include how to build a movement to

overturn racist anti-immigrant laws and win equality, what?s behind the sustained attacks

on Arabs and Muslims, and how to build multinational, working-class unity.

(3) Building a new workers' movement: Organized labor and the challenges ahead

Organized labor is under attack by Wall Street, corporate giants and capitalist politicians.

This panel will feature labor leaders and workers who resist and organize to stop these anti-worker

policies. Topics include the dynamics of the labor movement today, organizing the unorganized and

the prospects for a class-wide fight back.

Major Panel Session #2

3:30 pm - 5:00 pm

(1) The class struggle in Africa and the fight against imperialism

Class struggle exists everywhere in Africa, but it is rarely discussed or covered in the United States.

This panel will feature experts on the workers? struggle in Africa, discussing the conditions for working

and poor people today. Featured topics include South Africa after apartheid, Sudan: united or divided,

Zimbabwe and imperialism, and overcoming the legacy of colonialism and underdevelopment.

(2) Socialism and the Latin American revolution

?Down with Yankee imperialism? is an increasingly popular slogan south of the U.S.-Mexico border.

This panel will discuss the leftward shift in Latin America and the class dynamics at play. Topics

include Cuba?s economic reforms and socialism, an appraisal of the Venezuelan revolution; what?s happening

in Bolivia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, Brazil and Colombia; Mexico?s revolutionary legacy,

and the new role of China in Latin America.

(3) Fighting the expanding police state

What role do the police play in society? Why do they target and kill Black and Latino people more than

anyone else? This panel includes lawyers and activists from across the country involved in the movement

against police violence, terror and repression. Strategies will be discussed and victories will be shared,

with the goal of building a more effective struggle against the expanding police state.
