A mass fightback movement is on the rise.

From Egypt and Tunisia to Wisconsin and Ohio, workers are taking a stand against oppression and exploitation. These inspiring struggles show that when working people enter the political arena and engage in mass action, we become the most powerful agents for change.

But at the end of the day, what can bring an end to the budget cuts, unemployment, racist police brutality, and the ongoing wars and occupations that afflict so many? Can reforms alone put the needs of poor and working people first when the entire economic system is fueled by the pursuit of maximum profits for banks, corporations and landlords? What can decisively turn this situation around?

On Saturday, Nov. 5, and Sunday, Nov. 6, the Party for Socialism and Liberation will hold its Midwest Socialism Conference in Chicago. Come learn about the alternative to capitalist exploitation—and what we can do to get there.

The conference will feature speakers, workshops, entertainment and discussion on a wide variety of topics ranging from the movements against war and occupation abroad to the attacks on working people at home.

Whether you are looking to organize against war, racism, sexism and capitalist exploitation, or if you just want to learn what socialism is all about, the Midwest Socialism Conference has something for you.

Join us for presentations and discussion on a number of topics, including:

• What is socialism and is it possible in the U.S.?
• Fighting for jobs, education, housing, health care
• Overcoming racism and police brutality
• Lessons from Midwest labor battles: What will stop the anti-worker offensive on unions, students and badly needed public services?
• The Egyptian revolution & U.S. imperialism in the Middle East
• Fighting sexism, anti-LGBT bigotry and anti-immigrant attacks
• Cuba & Venezuela: Gains and challenges of socialist revolution

Please spread the word about the Midwest Socialism Conference to co-workers, friends and family via email, Facebook and Twitter!
