Description

Bennett Carpenter, David Duhalde, Montague Simmons, Jayanni Webster, and Cayden Mak speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2025. This session was sponsored by Convergence Magazine, Liberation Road, and Rising Majority.

How can organizers take on bold, strategic work to strengthen left-led base building within a broad anti-fascist united front? Our panelists debate the “build” component of a shared “Block and Build” strategic orientation, drawing on their experience in different sectors of the socialist, social movement, and labor left.

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