Learn more about this year's Left Forum! The theme this year is “Confronting the Crisis of Capitalism and Democracy”.

The 2015 Left Forum takes place in a period of excitement and challenge. The Left is on the verge of taking power in Greece and Spain. In the USA, police violence is being contested by a popular upsurge of protest and resistance. Forced to action by popular mobilization, president Obama has finally shown signs that his administration is responding to deep mass disaffection. From the recent Syriza victory in the Greek elections and movements against austerity throughout Europe to the spread of horizontal-democratic politics around the world, and from the nationwide activism arising out of Ferguson and the Black Lives Matter movements, to the growing momentum to end the Cuban embargo, recent events and left politics in the current year are shaping up to be pivotal.

Join us as we discuss the theme of this year’s conference, “Confronting the crises of Capitalism and Democracy”.

The hangout will include:
Marcus Graetch

Stephanie Macmillian
Stephanie McMillan decided at age ten that she would become a cartoonist, and spent much of grade school reading Peanuts and copying the characters. She created a short animated film during the summer after high school at the film studio near Bonn, Germany that had been founded by her grandfather, animator Hans Fischerkoesen (Das Loch im Westen and Die Vervitterte Melodie). Awakening in high school to the dangers of nuclear war, she went on to work for many years as an activist against imperialism and for social justice issues. Currently her daily comic strip Minimum Security is syndicated online at Universal Uclick’s gocomics.com. She also draws and self-syndicates a weekly editorial cartoon, Code Green.
