[PAA-Discuss] Texas Socialist Conference

[Ron and Kris Graham]

Is anyone going to attend the Texas Socialist Conference in Austin on
November 14th and 15th? We are probably going on Saturday the 14th to check
it out.

Saturday - Sunday, November 14 - 15 
University of Texas at Austin 

The world financial system is in the grip of the most severe crisis since
the Great Depression, and working class people will be asked to pay for this
economic disaster in a number of ways - higher prices for food and other
necessities, millions of foreclosures and evictions, greater unemployment,
growing poverty, government programs cut back or eliminated, and rising
tensions throughout society. 

Against this backdrop, Barack Obama's big victory last year has ushered in a
new political era -- an end to the dominance of conservative politics, and
the beginning of a period of renewed expectations and struggles for real
change. (I disagree with most of this statement but that's neither here nor
there).

The TEXAS SOCIALIST CONFERENCE aims to provide space to debate and clarify
strategies for change, learn from the history of previous struggles, and put
forward a vision for the future. Join activists, progressives and socialists
from across the region to discuss the key issues facing the Left today, as
well as how we can build a revolutionary alternative to the capitalist
system of war, racism and poverty.
