"Rage, Rebellion, Organizing Our Power" was the theme of the Left Forum in New York City held at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in May.

Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now, on a 20th Anniversary tour of the award-winning program, addressed the Left Forum. She speaks about Donald Trump, "the man who has ripped open the underbelly of hate" and the importance of independent media, a media that covers power, not a media that covers for power.

And Tariq Ali, British Pakistani writer, journalist and filmmaker also addressed the conference. "We are witnessing a radicalization of young people in most countries in Europe today" explains Alli. The anger on the streets attracting huge numbers of people in the U.S. and in Europe reflects demands for a public health system, free education, cheap homes, and railways and utilities which are not privatized.
