Saturday, October 29th

sponsors: www.internationalsocialist.org & Socialistworker.org

$5-$20 sliding scale (no one will be turned away for lack of funds)

childcare available - contact us by Oct. 20th

2011 is a year of revolution and revolt -- from Egypt, to Madison; from London Riots, to the fight to save Troy Davis; from teachers, longshoremen taking a stand to the growing US-wide 'Occupy' movement -- and with every growth in struggle socialist politics become more and more relevant. The Midwest Marxism Conference will present activists from across the region with an opportunity to learn what Marxists say about race, class, and revolution, and to exchange experiences with others similarly engaged in the struggle for a better world. 

Folks traveling to Chicago from out of town can touch base with our host committee to request housing for Friday and Saturday night by calling 773 236-1848, or by emailing chicagos...@gmail.com
