DESCRIPTION:STORIES OF RECONSTRUCTION AND HOPE  Poets and Activists Celebrate 5 years 
 of Left Turn Magazine  Featured performers: Headrush (Chicano Spoken Word 
 Troupe)  June Jordan’s Poetry For the People alumni: Ananda Esteva, Maria 
 Poblet and Jim Saliba  Join cutting-edge poets and activists in a night of 
 celebration of Left Turn Magazine’s fifth anniversary.  Left Turn has 
 become a major source of social justice information, even providing first 
 hand reports from Iraq, New Orleans, Brazil and Palestine. The magazine has 
 earned seven Project Censored awards.  About Left Turn:  Left Turn is a 
 national network of activists engaged in exposing and fighting the 
 consequences of global capitalism and imperialism. Rooted in a variety of 
 social movements, we are anti-capitalists, radical feminists, anti-racists, 
 and anti-imperialists working to build resistance and alternatives to 
 corporate power and empire.  Through our publication, Left Turn Magazine, 
 our website and other forums, we seek to create spaces for our various 
 movements to reflect and strategize. The magazine serves as a resource to 
 grassroots movements by reporting on and analyzing local and global 
 struggles for justice. It is an all volunteer publication written by 
 activists for activists.  We are committed to modelling the world we want 
 to see by organizing collectively, democratically and without hierarchy, 
 both internally and in the larger movement. Whether working on a local 
 community campaign or doing international solidarity work, we seek to fight 
 all forms of oppression through our organizing.  We recognize the 
 importance of struggles waged by people and communities most affected by 
 the policies of globalization and empire, whether in Brooklyn or Baghdad. 
 Through each aspect of our work we highlight these struggles and forge 
 connections between them in order to build a stronger more effective 
 movement here in the heart of the empire.  Finally, we wish to project 
 politics of hope, inspiration and solidarity based on both the rich history 
 of social movements and the visionary work of everyday people coming 
 together to radically transform society and bring about a more just 
 world.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/04/11/94703.php
