JOIN US AT SOCIALISM 2004 ON JUNE 17-20 • Chicago

THIS YEAR, Democrats and Republicans will tell you that everything depends on who sits in the White House. But the most important issues for working people—whether we're sent overseas to fight in wars for empire or whether we can have a decent standard of living—aren't on the ballot. So we face a choice: To accept that we can't do better than what Washington is willing to offer, or to fight for a real change from below—in our workplaces, in our schools and in our communities.

Socialism 2004 provides a forum where activists from today's struggles can come together to discuss how to win a socialist world where ordinary people will decide the priorities of our society.

More than 100 discussions on today's struggles, the socialist tradition, political theory and much more are aimed at arming a new generation of fighters with the ideas they need to change the world. You're invited to debate, discuss and decide how to change the world at Socialism 2004!
