LEFT FORUM 2008 will take place March 14-16 at The Cooper Union, New York City.

This year we are excited to present many speakers who are new to Left Forum audiences, from around the world and right here in New York City, as well as many who are joining us again: Naomi Klein, Grace Lee Boggs, Tariq Ali, Staughton Lynd, Billionaires for Bush, Mahmood Mamdani, Adam Hochschild, Jeremy Scahill, David Harvey, Max Elbaum, Stanley Aronowitz, Frances Fox Piven, Bill Fletcher, Jr., Patricia McFadden, Patrick Bond, John Bellamy Foster, Michael Albert, Carlos Vilas, Dennis Brutus, Deepa Fernandes, and many more will participate.

The theme of Left Forum 2008 is Cracks in the Edifice. What is the nature of the emerging crises in global political economy? How can the Left confront its current challenges to build stronger anti-capitalist movements? If another world is possible, what will it look like? We will be adding several movement-building workshops to our program, and plan to examine1968 after 40 years.

Please join us this March to explore these questions and many more. In addition to the plenaries and panel discussions, there will be a pre-conference cocktail party and a cultural event on Saturday evening. Your participation in the entire weekend enriches the discussions, fuels the debates, and helps make Left Forum the critical and singular event that it is. Registration will be available shortly at www.leftforum.org, as well as information on the program as it develops.

We look forward to seeing you this Spring.
