BUILDING SOCIALISM. BUILDING OUR MOVEMENTS

Last year's conference theme, “Building Socialism. Building Our Movements,” emphasized our goal to bring together socialists and social movement activists from the Boston area and increase our engagement with socialist ideas and the many struggles around our city, country and the world. A strong socialist community in Boston is essential for working people and the dispossessed to build power and eventually replace capitalism with a social system based on human need and not profit.
