DESCRIPTION:Jul 1-4, all day\n\nWith the economy in shambles and with wars and 
 occupations continuing, the challenge to change these conditions confronts 
 us all. More than a year ago, millions placed their hopes in Barack Obama 
 and the Democrats to solve these problems. But after months of broken 
 promises and concessions to conservatives, jobs are scarce, the banks are 
 unregulated, and full equality for LGBT people remains elusive. 
 \n\nSocialism 2010-to be held in both Chicago and Oakland-will provide an 
 unparalleled opportunity for new and veteran activists and scholars to 
 explore questions about how we got into this mess and how we can get out of 
 it. \n\nLast year, more than 1,800 people turned out to explore the history 
 of struggles of ordinary people, to learn about radical figures who led 
 social movements and to debate theoretical questions that can help us 
 change the world. \n\nJoin us for more than 100 talks on issues such as: 
 What is the Real Marxist Tradition?, Race in the Obama Era, Capitalism, 
 Climate Change, and the Future of Humanity, Abortion and Women's 
 Liberation, and Building a New Left in the Obama Era. \n\nDon't miss the 
 chance to meet, talk and socialize with hundreds of others like you who 
 want to build an alternative to a system of greed, racism, war and 
 oppression. \n\nFeaturing: \n\nMIKE DAVIS, historian and socialist activist 
 whose books include In Praise of Barbarians; BRIAN JONES, actor and 
 activist in New York City, and a frequent guest on GRITtv; SONALI 
 KOLHATKAR, host, "Uprising", KPFK-FM, Los Angeles; ALAN MAASS, editor, 
 Socialist Worker; JEREMY SCAHILL, contributor to The Nation and author, 
 Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army; LILIANA 
 SEGURA, AlterNet staff writer on civil rights and liberties; JEFFREY ST. 
 CLAIR and JOSHUA FRANK, authors, Greenscare: The New War on 
 Environmentalism; DAVE ZIRIN, sportswriter and author, A People's History 
 of Sports in the United States; and many more!\n
