The Midwest Social Forum

(formerly also known as RadFest) is ongoing in Milwaukee, July 6-9, 2006, at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Student Union.

Marc Becker reported on last year's meeting.

Two overarching themes defined many of the discussions at this year's RadFest/Midwest Social Forum. The first was grappling with what is often the unacknowledged problem of racism within the white left, and second is the ongoing discussion concerning the role of electoral politics in attempts to change the world.
