This year the Socialism conference has a new look and a new logo: the lantern.
The lantern is a beacon of freedom and a light in the dark. Lanterns were part of the critical infrastructure of the Underground Railroad, illuminating the path toward freedom and indicating safe havens along the way.
The flame is also a frequently invoked symbol in the history of socialist and communist movements, keeping the light of radical tradition and memory alive while pointing the way toward a brighter future, even in dire times.
The Socialism conference stands in the tradition of abolitionist, emancipatory, and working-class struggles, both large and small. At a time of increasing attacks on immigrants, queer and trans people, and workers, Socialism is a place for strengthening our connections and reaffirming our commitment to fighting for each other.
