LEFT COAST FORUM 2026: WHAT NOW?
As inequality deepens, democratic institutions strain, and communities face mounting pressure—from housing insecurity to political division—the need for real dialogue has never been greater. This October, the Left Coast Forum and LA Progressive will convene activists, organizers, scholars, and community members for a powerful, in-person gathering focused on building solutions and strengthening movements.
Join us for a dynamic, multi-day event featuring plenaries, interactive sessions, and opportunities to connect across issues and communities. Come ready to engage, learn, and help shape what comes next.

SOCIALISM, WHAT IS IT: As wealth and income inequality deepens and the U.S. attacks and threatens lands from Venezuela to Iran to Greenland to Palestine to Minnesota and beyond, and the contradictions of capitalism intensify, the Left Coast Forum team and LA Progressive decided to convene an educational public event to simply ask and discuss: “What is Socialism?” Join us for this free event -- donations are welcomed. This event has already occurred. It was FANTASTIC!! Stay tuned. There is more to come!

This first-rate educational experience was an invigorating convening of activists, academics, and the socially conscious who came together to discuss the pressing issues of our time.
