Log Off and Meet Up: The Fight for Third Spaces in a Turbulent World

Libertie Valance, Casey O'Grady, Allyn Maxfield Steele, and Mandy Medley speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2025. This session was sponsored by Firestorm Books, Haymarket House, Highlander Center, and Pilsen Community Books.

In the midst of a climate shadowed by cruelty, alienation and uncertainty, community-based organizing spaces have never been more crucial. Join longtime organizers to examine the challenges and joys of constructing and maintaining third spaces, different models of sustainable spaces, and the utility of these spaces for fostering solidarity to strengthen our movements.

The next Socialism Conference will be held in Chicago, September 4-7, 2026. Learn more about the Socialism Conference at www.socialismconference.org.
