Socialism 2026 is a four-day conference bringing together thousands of socialists and radical activists from around the country to take part in discussions about social movements, abolition, Marxism, decolonization, working-class history, and the debates and strategies for organizing today.
Every year, the Socialism conference is a place where activists share lessons from their struggles—from anti-ICE organizing to the fight for gender liberation, from striking workers to Palestine solidarity campaigns, the struggle to stop the destruction of the planet, the fight against racism, and more.
With talks and workshops throughout the weekend, the conference will feature left-wing authors and thinkers discussing the issues and debates on the left today, as well as meetings on the hidden history of working-class and socialist struggles.
So join us in Chicago September 4-7, 2026!
