AK Press at Left Forum!
We’re getting ready, folks—in just a couple short days Kate and I will be on our way up to New York for Left Forum. We’ll have fully stocked book tables in the exhibits area all weekend, so we hope you’ll stop by to say hi to us, check out all our latest releases, and maybe even sign up as a Friend of AK Press and take home your copy of our beautiful new Haymarket Scrapbook!
We’re also pleased to announce that a whole bunch of AK Press authors will be around and speaking on panels throughout the weekend. We already told you about the “Occupying from Below” track organized by our friends at the Institute for Anarchist Studies—and we do still encourage you to check those panels out—but for your reference, here are some more AK Press author appearances for you to consider when planning your busy weekend:
