Jacobin IRL

Over the next week, Jacobin will be hosting events at the Left Forum conference and elsewhere in New York.

We have some wonderful events coming up that we hope you can make it to. Unfortunately, they’re all in New York, but they’ll be recorded for the progressive peoples of the world to view and cherish for all eternity. Later this summer, we’ll also unveil our programming schedule — including monthly events, workshops, and reading groups — out of our new home at the Brooklyn Commons. Hope to see you soon!

(Note: the weekend events are a part of Left Forum, registration is required.)
