United StatesA unique phenomenon in the U.S. and the world, Left Forum convenes the largest annual conference of a broad spectrum of left and progressive intellectuals, activists, academics, organizations and the interested public. Conference participants come together to engage a wide range of critical perspectives on the world, to discuss differences, commonalities, and alternatives to current predicaments, and to share ideas for understanding and transforming the world. The conference is held each spring in New York City.
This year’s conference featured the Reverend Jesse Jackson, Noam Chomsky, and Arundhati Roy, involved more than 3000 attendees, 700 speakers and 240 panels. The conference success is a result of the creative efforts of hundreds of people who engage the gamut of volunteer activities, from helping generate artistic events and panels, to outreach and involvement of a rainbow of organizations and individuals. |Geographical Scope: International Conference |
