Rochester to Chicago for Socialism

Socialism 2015  is a four-day conference bringing together hundreds of socialists and radical activists from around the country to take part in discussions about Marxism, working-class history, and the debates and strategies for organizing today. It is hosted by the Center for Economic Research and Social Change, publisher of Haymarket Books  and the International Socialist Review , and co-sponsored by the International Socialist Organization,  publisher of Socialist Worker newspaper.

Every year, the Socialism conferences aims to be a place where activists can share lessons from their struggles—from the boycott, divestment and sanction campaign for Palestine to the fight for LGBT liberation, from the Fight for 15 to the struggle to stop the destruction of the planet, the fight against racism and Black Lives Matter movement, and more.

With well over 100 meetings, the weekend will feature left-wing authors and thinkers discussing the debates on the left today, as well as meetings on the hidden history of working-class and socialist struggles.

Speakers this year include:
★ Ali Abunimah ★ Phillip Agnew ★ Arundhati Roy★ David Barsamian ★ Jack Bloom ★ Antonis Davanellos ★ Anand Gopal ★ Suzan Shown Harjo ★ Craig Hodges ★ Monica James ★ Remi Kanazi ★ Rania Khalek ★ Erica Violet Lee ★ Chris Maisano ★ Steven Salaita ★ Ahmed Shawki ★ Sharon Smith ★ Bhaskar Sunkara ★ Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor ★ Sherry Wolf ★ Gary Younge ★ Dave Zirin ★ and over a hundred others ★
