Are you fed up with stage-managed electoral politics? Want to know what happened at this convention that brought together people wanting a system that cherishes life, knowledge, solidarity, shared abundance and the natural world — and who are determined to work collectively to achieve this?

Last month, members and guests of the Freedom Socialist Party convened at Evergreen College in Olympia, Washington to reflect on international struggles and assess the effectiveness to today’s movements in resisting the intense suffering caused by the latest crisis of capitalism.

This meeting will feature multi-media reports from Australian delegates, Alison Thorne, Debbie Brennan and Peter Murray. They’ll discuss the socialist feminist alternative to capitalism, the new queer radicalism, inspirational multi-generational and multi-racial organising and explore how public sector and immigrant workers are firing up the U.S. union movement. The meeting will also feature a lively discussion that came out of an eyewitness panel’s examination of Cuba’s imperilled revolution.

There will be plenty of opportunity for questions and discussion about the dynamic ideas of the FSP.

Tuesday 17 August, 7 pm
Dinner will be served at 6:30 pm for an $8 donation.
