The wave of revolution and revolt sweeping the Middle East and North Africa has overthrown dictators, shaken US and Western domination of the region, and challenged the enormous inequality created by neo-liberal capitalism.

This public forum will discuss the development of the first great revolutions of the 21st century— and their meaning for everyone who wants to live in a world based on real democracy and social justice.
