Welcome to the
WHO WE ARE
The International Socialist Organization (ISO) is committed to building an organization that participates in the struggles for justice and liberation todayand, ultimately, for a future socialist society. The ISO has branches across the country whose members are involved in helping to build a number of struggles: the fights against police brutality, the New Jim Crow and racism; the struggle against anti-immigrant scapegoating, the fight for womens rights like the right to choose abortion, opposing anti-gay bigotry, and standing up for workers rights. In Denver & Boulder, our members are involved in the fight for public education, labor organizing and solidarity, environmental justice struggles, solidarity with Palestine and the struggles in the Middle East and a whole range of issues. Our Denver branch holds public meetings weekly on Wednesdays at 7PM at the Hooked on Colfax in the Speakeasy Room. Meetings feature discussions of our movement work, study of Marxist ideas and working-class and socialist history and regular discussion of current political events and topics.

Ahmed Shawki Speaker: In the Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels state that what distinguish-

You can find the conference downtown Denver at the Auraria Campus in the Tivoli Student Union building, Room 444. The closest cross street is 9th Steet and Auraria Pkwy.
Parking, etc.
Please note that there is no free parking on Auraria Campus and it is very difficult to find free parking closeby. The most convenient parking area is the Tivoli Parking Garage on the corner of 9th Street and Auraria Pkwy. This garage is $6 and a short walk from the Tivoli Student Union. There are other, cheaper options on campus further from the building. Reference the Auraria Campus Parking Map for alternative parking areas and pricing. Alternatively, the C, D & E light rail lines stop at Auraria Campus at the Colfax at Auraria stop and the Auraria West stop.
