Motivated by the current cultural, economic and political crisis facing all of us, a gathering of leftist intellectuals founded the 15th Street Manifesto Group (Stanley Aronowitz, Rick Wolff, William DiFazio, Harriet Fraad and Michael Pelias). The Group has created and circulated a Manifesto for a Left Turn which calls for a new radical political formation. Written in the spirit of manifestoes of the lefrist past, it engages the current situation, how we arrived at this conjuncture, and sets tasks to be done. Join the 15th Street Manifesto Group for an evening of ideas of how to overcome the inertia of left political organization, i.e. lack of a radical political party. They welcome your critiques, your perspectives, and want you to engage in serious discussion and action toward building an alternative future which will confront the politics of the audacity of hype and the absurdity of hope.
