This episode of The Dig is brought to you by our supporters at patreon.com and by the Socialism

2020 conference, which is taking place this July 2nd through 5th in Chicago.

The Socialism Conference is the largest socialism conference in North America.

It is where activists and organizers come to be inspired,

to learn from each other, and to develop the political tools that make our movements stronger.

This July 2nd through 5th, Socialism 2020, will feature meetings and discussions on the recent

revolutionary movements around the globe,

the history of black radicalism, Marxist theory and socialist history,

trans liberation, and the fight to save our planet from climate catastrophe.

Speakers at Socialism 2020 include Robin D.G. Kelly, Crystal Ball, Rosanna Rodriguez, Anand

Gopal, Kate Aronoff, Richard Seymour, Sarah Jaffe, Megan Day, me, Daniel Denver,

and many more. Socialism 2020 is organized by Haymarket Books, Jacobin, and the Democratic Socialists of America.
