George Bush's “war on terror” has been accompanied by a wave of rampant racial profiling and Islamophobia. Hear this diverse panel of activists discuss the opportunities and challenges for building a united movement against war and Islamophobia, and for social justice and a new world of freedom.

This talk is one of two opening meetings for Marxism 2007: A Festival of Resistance, a four-day conference of over fifty workshops, artistic displays and performances.

If you are against imperialism, war, corporate greed, and the destruction of the environment, if you want to learn about and organize for a new world of peace, freedom, and liberation, then don't miss Marxism 2007: A Festival of Resistance.

Note: Group rate — Five full weekend registration passes from $100 (that's $20 per person for the full weekend pass.)
