Event Organizer: Paul L. Street

Panelists: Paul L. Street, Glen Ford, Chris L. Hedges, Bruce Dixon

From the Organizers: Panelists will examine the contested meanings and common abuse of the phrase “the Left” in the United States (U.S.). They will discuss steps required to create a genuinely revolutionary movement for social justice, peace, people’s power (popular sovereignty), and the salvation and preservation of livable ecology. Is there a significant and real “Left” in the U.S today? What would qualify as an authentic and serious Left appropriate for the 21st century United States? How might such a Left be created and/or expanded? What will the task of creating an authentic,relevant,and powerful 21st Century U.S. Left require of activists and intellectuals going forward? Why does this task matter?
