There are two amazing conferences coming up in Chicago in the next few weeks. The Center for Economic Research and Social Change, Haymarket Books and the International Socialist Organization have brought Socialism 2013 to Chicago from June 27-30. They will be hosting a weekend of incredible talks and workshops on radical economics and the shifting political landscape of the country and planet. And in honor of the Teachers’ Strike and the battle against school closings the Free Minds Free People conference will take place in Chicago in this year from July 11-14. It will also be covering a huge range of crucial topics, with a special focus on social justice education and the push back against privatization. Scholarships are available for both conferences, and they should both be incredibly affirming and empowering. Check out their schedules and come through!
