2011 began with popular uprisings and revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa -- most notably in Tunisia and Egypt, where mass demonstrations forced out dictators who had held power for decades. By the summer the tide of revolt had spread to Greece and Chile; and in the Fall, the Occupy! movement took the U.S. by storm.

These developments have put a fundamental question back on the table for millions of people: is global revolution possible? If it is, what would it look like? And how can we win?

Join us for a discussion of these questions and others. Global revolution is not only possible -- it is necessary in order to win a world that puts human need ahead of profit.
