Fwd: Great news! Early bird registration for Socialism 2013 extended by one week!

[Joe Cleffie]

GREAT NEWS! Due to the large number of registrations in the last couple of days, we have extended early bird registration for one week to give more folks a chance to register at the discounted rate. Don't miss out--it ends on May 29! Click here to register.

Also, don't forget to share this video so people can get a sense of what the conference is like!

Millions of people have come to the understanding that capitalism is no longer working. 

From extreme weather caused by climate change and the relentless drive to slash workers’ living standards to the epidemic of police brutality, the signs of a society in crisis are all around us. The question isn’t whether society has run amok; the question is what to do about it.

The Socialism 2013 conference will bring together hundreds of activists from across the U.S., and around the world, to tackle the many discussions and debates that confront anyone interested in changing the world. How can women’s liberation and LGBT equality be won? What will it take to win real justice for immigrant workers? Can organized labor make a comeback? What lessons can be learned from the revolutions shaking the Middle East? Why is Marxism relevant today?

Featured speakers include teachers on the front lines of the fight to defend public education, anti-racist fighters against police brutality and the New Jim Crow, trade unionists, Marxist authors, radical historians, and much more. Start making your plans to attend. 

Socialism 2013 will have a whole range of lectures and series on a wide range of topics, designed to offer ideas about strategies in our movements as well as theory to guide the fight for a better future.
