SOCIALISM 2011: REVOLUTION IN THE AIR
Revolutionary politics, debate and entertainment
JULY 1-4 | CHICAGO
http://www.socialismconference.org
Everywhere we look in the world there are revolutions and struggles that
are challenging dictatorship, economic inequality, and oppression.
From Cairo to Madison, these struggles show us that "another
world is possible." But they also raise questions about what ideas,
strategies, and tactics are necessary to carry the struggle forward.
Socialism 2011 will provide an opportunity for new and veteran activists
to discuss what these events mean for our world, and for our own
movements today.
Last year, more than 1,500 people turned out to Socialism 2010 in Oakland and Chicago.
Don’t miss the chance to meet with hundreds of others like you who want
to build an alternative to a system of greed, racism, war and
oppression.

What they say about past Socialism Conferences...
The young people at the conference took me back in time to when you were
ready to stand for what was right. It lets you know that what you may
have planted years ago will come to reality today. I feel great to have
become a part of it.
—Dr. John Carlos, 1968 Olympic bronze medalist who raised the Black Power salute.
Socialism conferences are exciting gathering places for students and
young activists, for revolutionary scholars and fighters for social
justice, to share ideas and experiences that can help us understand and
change the world. I've been to a couple—it's not enough. I'm coming
again.
—Paul LeBlanc, socialist and author
