Forum featuring:

Chokwe Lumumba | Bill Fletcher, Jr. |  Kate Griffiths
& a Speaker from the New York Study Group

This forum is the New York installment in a series of local conversations among left organizers in cities around the country to assess the impacts of the November 2008 elections and the economic crisis and to discuss the resultant strategic priorities for left organizers:

• What did we learn from the elections about the state of politics in the US today?
• What does the election of Obama mean for Black struggles for self-determination?
• What do we expect from the Obama administration?
• How will the deepening global economic crisis effect the direction and action of the next regime? How will it impact our communities and movements?
• Where will key social struggles be, and what can we do to focus our participation in them? What do we think we can achieve in the next period?
• What impact will the new composition of Congress, Senate and Presidency have on what kinds of alliances leftists should make and how we should position ourselves?
