WELCOME TO LEFT FORUM 2013
Thank you for participating in Left Forum 2013. The conference has steadily grown over the years, and has been transformed by the influence of thousands of participants from six continents and myriad political perspectives. We are
proud of this year’s gathering, humbled by the diversity of voices it includes, and honored that you can join us. We are
grateful to be hosted by Pace University for the fifth consecutive year. Without critical support and input from their
faculty, staff and students—who worked tirelessly with us to ensure a successful conference—Left Forum could not
happen. The same must be said of the hundreds of volunteers who help before, during and after the event to make
the weekend possible.
This program guide includes the full conference schedule, and will help you navigate the more than 350 panels, workshops, and events happening this weekend. Please look through it carefully. The accompanying map should get you
there on time, but feel free to ask a staff member or volunteer for assistance. We also heartily invite you to participate
in the Left Forum Exhibition, held in the student union, multi-purpose room and reading room, located next to the
registration tables. The Exhibition is the primary meeting and networking space for the conference, and includes book
publishers and movement organizers.
With so much happening at once, we ask that you help us keep things running smoothly: please keep your conference
badge visible. Additionally, we ask that you not overcrowd rooms; due to fire code restrictions, we ask anyone who
cannot find a seat to please select another panel to attend. Please note that the plenary sessions and all stand-alone
Schimmel events are first come, first served. In between panels, you can find many culinary options in the vicinity of
Pace University. Lastly, we apologize that we are unable to provide childcare for this year’s conference due to budget
constraints and other difficulties.
Finally, we encourage you to indulge the opportunity to share and discuss ideas with each other, and take advantage
of the rare occasion for such a rich public debate. We organize the Left Forum to open an arena for dialogue on the
most pressing matters of our world, with an ardent belief that this will help change it. To this end, we once again thank
you for your participation, and look forward to seeing you in the future.
In Solidarity,

LEFT FORUM 2013
Mobilizing for Ecological/Economic Transformation
We need to mobilize now! The planet and humankind are
in peril. The climate is warming, glaciers are melting, seas
are rising, droughts are spreading and species are going
extinct, all caused by unsustainable development and overconsumption of every resource on the planet. Meanwhile
the ongoing economic crisis the worst since the Great Depression has devastated working people around the world
with astronomical rates of unemployment, falling incomes
and brutal austerity measures. Everywhere, the people least
responsible for these interrelated crises are bearing their
brunt, in particular people in developing countries, women
who are the bulk of ecological refugees, and people of color.
Bangladesh with its floods and factory fires is a tragic case
in point. These twin crises reveal the destructive – indeed
eco-suicidal - nature of capitalism’s inherent drive to growth,
where everything in nature has a price, and nothing has a
value, including human life.
At the same time, new forms of anti-capitalist and horizontal democratic resistance are emerging everywhere. There is
reason to hope, as the basic question of who should own
the Earth is coming to the fore. Come to this year’s Left Forum to explore the environmental and movement-building
imperatives that make another world not only possible but
necessary.
Against this inspiring background, the Left Forum will host
its annual conference at Pace University on the weekend of
June 7-9, 2013. As it has done for many years, the conference
will gather civil libertarians, environmentalists, anarchists,
socialists, communists, trade unionists, black and Latino
freedom fighters, feminists, anti-war activists, students and
people struggling against unemployment, foreclosure, inadequate housing and deteriorating schools from among
those active in the U.S. and many other countries, as well.
Will the mass movements in Latin America, the United States
and elsewhere further extend their participatory democratic, community-building, non-capitalist, and caring forms of
struggle into the institutions of everyday life? Will the movements confront and disrupt the complicity of neo-liberal
state elites with corporate capital? Are there alternatives to
the increasingly brutal capitalist system on the horizon?
Join us in exploring such questions and moving forward left
agendas for social change.
About Left Forum
Each year Left Forum convenes the largest gathering in
North America of the US and international Left. Continuing a
tradition begun in the 1960s, we bring together intellectuals
and organizers to share perspectives, strategies, experience
and vision. For the US and the world, revitalizing an American Left has never been more urgent; Left Forum has a critical role to play in that undertaking.
Left Forum seeks to link the critique of neo-liberalism to
anti-capitalism, and to foster radical alternatives to the established order. Left Forum provides a context for critical
engagement by people of different persuasions on the Left
who, nevertheless, seek common ground.

Unions Go Green: A New Framework toward
Energy Democracy
Frankly, unions haven’t always been the greenest
bunch. Nor have a whole lot of other folks on the Left.
But that’s changing. Learn about the labor movement’s latest efforts to create a just, democratic, and
sustainable energy system.

With the election of the first black president, we are told
that we have evolved into a post-racial society. This
rhetoric obscures the insidious, continued legacy of
racism in the U.S. How can we invigorate efforts to
strike at the true foundations of structural racism?

A massive student movement recently stopped tuition

other students fight back against spiraling tuition, and
how can their struggles connect to a broader movement
against other forms of exploitative debt?

Celebrating the 40th
Anniversary of the
Reconstitution of the
Socialist Party USA
The
Socialist
Party's history goes back more than 100 years, but our
specific tradition, while inseparable from the Socialist Party of America, can
be inked directly to the 1973 reconstitution in Milwaukee, WI. From the SPUSA
pamphlet " 100 Years of Democratic Socialism" ...."At the end of 1972, the Socialist
Party, now completely under control of the right wing, changed its name to Social Democrats
USA. This lit the fuse for the disaffiliation of many of the states and locals within the Debs Caucus, and
for many resignations. Early in 1973, the Socialist Party of Wisconsin, with the support of the California and
Illinois Parties, called a “National Convention of the Socialist Party,” to be held Memorial Day weekend in
Milwaukee. The resulting body voted to reconstitute the Socialist Party USA."
Over the last 40 years the Party has grown and continued the struggle for democratic socialism, led by rank-n-file
members in the labor, student, anti-war and women's movements.
SPUSA Statement of Agreement - The following points represent the key ideas of agreement of the Socialist Party
USA. We encourage you to read and discuss them, and if you agree consider joining the Socialist Party:
1) The Socialist Party is a democratic socialist organization. We see socialism as a new social and economic order in
which workers and consumers control production and community residents control their neighborhoods, homes

and school and the production of society is used for the benefit of all humanity, not the private profit of a few..
2) We see the working class as in a key and central position to fight back against the ruling class and its power. The
working class is the major force worldwide that can lead the way to a socialist future – to a real radical democracy
from below.
3) We stand in opposition to all forms of oppression including but not limited to racism, sexism and homophobia.
4)
We are a “multi-tendency” organization. We orient ourselves around our principles and develop a common
program, but our members have various underlying philosophies and views of the world. Therefore we reject
vanguardism and democratic centralism.
5) We advocate for independent political action outside the Democratic and Republican parties.
6) Our tactics in the struggle for radical democratic change reflects our ultimate goal of a society founded on principles
of egalitarian, non-exploitative and non-violent relations among all people and between all peoples.

HOW CLASS WORKS - 2014
CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS
A Conference at SUNY Stony Brook
June 5-7, 2014
The Center for Study of Working Class Life is pleased to announce the How Class Works – 2014 Conference, to be held
at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, June 5-7, 2014. Proposals for papers, presentations, and sessions
are welcome until December 11, 2013 according to the guidelines presented at
http://www.stonybrook.edu/workingclass/conference/2014/HCW_2014_Call.pdf
Purpose and orientation: The conference seeks to explore ways in which an explicit recognition of class helps to
understand the social world in which we live, and ways in which analysis of society can deepen our understanding of
class as a social relationship. Presentations should take as their point of reference the lived experience of class; proposed
theoretical contributions should be rooted in and illuminate social realities. Presentations are welcome from people outside
academic life when they sum up social experience in a way that contributes to the themes of the conference. Formal
papers will be welcome but are not required. All presentations should be accessible to an interdisciplinary audience.
Conference themes: The conference welcomes proposals for presentations that advance our understanding of any of the
following themes: The mosaic of class, race, and gender; Class, power, and social structure; Class and community;
Class in a global economy; Middle class? Working class? What’s the difference and why does it matter? Class, public
policy, and electoral politics; Class and culture; Pedagogy of class.
