Ideas to Change the World

 
We are living in an age of capitalist crisis. Politicians, bankers and bosses are slashing jobs, cutting wages and trying to make workers and the poor bail them out. However, we are also living in an age of revolution. From the ongoing Egyptian Revolution to the Idle No More movement in Canada, people are fighting back and searching for new ideas.
What will it take to stop climate change and the destruction of our planet? How do we battle the sexism and transphobia that surrounds us? What are the alternatives to this rotten system?
At Ideas to Change the World, a one-day political conference, you can join the discussion about what it will take to fight and win in a world in crisis and revolt. We all have questions; together we have answers.
