NW Socialist Conference - THIS WEEKEND!

[Ethan Boyles]

Hey all,

The ISO's NW Socialist Conference is this weekend!  It's shaping up to be an exciting weekend.  There are talks on a variety of things, from Marxist economics and the current crisis, to the reframing of imperialism under Obama, and from Marxist theories of oppression to the burgeoning LGBT movement for full equality. 

 

And it's not too late to register! (you can register for the whole weekend of events, or single sessions if you'd like)

You can do so online at http://www.nwsocialistconference.org/, or shoot an email to is...@uw.edu if you'd like to meet with an ISO member in person on campus on Friday to pick up a ticket.

 

There's no time like the present to organize with others looking for a revolutionary alternative.

 

Solidarity,

ISO UW

Sponsored by International Socialist Organization Seattle and Portland branches,  Socialist Worker, Haymarket Books and the International Socialist Review

Capitalism isn't working. Socialism is the alternative—a world organized for human need, not profit, where resources are controlled by and for the vast majority, instead of by a tiny rich minority. Real change depends on struggle and action by our side.

The Northwest Socialist Conference is one of six regional socialist conferences nationwide that are dedicated to arming a new generation of rebels, activists and organizers with arguments and ideas for a revolutionary socialist alternative, learning our history of rebellion and resistance, and discussing strategies for building organization and winning struggles for real change.

Featuring
Sherry Wolf
