Socialists to gather in Evanston, Illinois

Illinois Review reports:

If you're interested in attending the 2009 National DSA Convention, it's going to be held in Evanston, Illinois November 14 and 15. This year's speakers include many "DSA luminaries" including Honorary Chair Cornel West, DSA Vice Chair Elaine Bernard (Chair, Harvard University Trade Union Education Program) and Vice Chair Harold Meyerson (Washington Post columnist), and author and trade unionist Bill Fletcher. The Democratic Socialists of America website says the economy will be the #1 topic, and they will address these issues: How do we restructure a post "recovery" economy so that it will address the many aftershocks foreclosure crisis, jobs crisis, and loss of pension income for near and not so near retirees of the economic crisis?

Did you know that ACORN is tied in to the Chicago Democratic Socialists of America in some way?
