DESCRIPTION:From Woody Allen’s “Manhattan” to the “L Word,” Wallace Shawn’s 
 quirky characters have made him a familiar face to movie and TV audiences 
 since the 1970s. Less known for his progressive politics till the 2009 
 release of his Essays, a “hodgepodge of short pieces on war, theater, 
 sex, art and privileged guilt,” Shawn is clearly in the camp of 
 “creative dreamers,” as the LA Times describes him.\n\nShawn will be 
 talking with activists and reading excerpts from his book at Socialism 
 2010, which include snippets in his 2004 essay “Up To Our Necks in 
 War,” where he writes, “And to denounce all of those whose battle for 
 change has not excluded violent methods may be to condemn most people on 
 earth to inevitable suffocation…. I can’t bring myself to condemn 
 Nelson Mandela and everyone else whose principled struggle for justice fell 
 short of the non-violent ideal.”\n\n$10 admission at the door. Seating is 
 limited so pre-register at http://www.socialismconference.org/oakland.

 the conference, to guarantee your seat.\n
