SocialistWorker.org invites you to join us at the Socialism 2009 conferences in Chicago on June 18-21 and San Francisco on July 2-5. We'll be hosting sessions at each event--featuring Jeremy Scahill in Chicago and John Pilger in San Francisco. We hope all our readers will attend these meetings--and stick around afterward to meet the SocialistWorker.org staff.

The Socialism conferences feature three days of three days of political meetings, entertainment and discussion. There's never been a better time for those who want to see fundamental change to have this kind of forum.

We're looking forward to meeting our readers, too. You'll get a chance to hear and talk to the writers you see every day on SocialistWorker.org:
