South Tent - Aspen Hall 400 W. Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90015

This year, we'll focus on reaching across racial, ethnic, gender, generational, and sexual identities with intention. This convening is all about bringing the progressive community together on social, political, economical, and environmental issues, while openly addressing the fissures that weaken the movement.

This August at Los Angeles Trade Tech, you’ll find speakers, panelists, and fellow activists building upon sometimes disjointed street protests, online petitions, and siloed thinking to create the potent united front needed to reclaim our threatened rights and freedoms. Join us in moving beyond resistance.

Keynote Speakers:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Melina Abullah,

Eric Mann & Hector Villagra

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the head-turning Democratic Socialist congressional candidate from New York City, will speak at this year's Left Coast Forum.

The three-day Left Coast Forum runs from Friday, August 24th to Sunday, August 26th, at Los Angeles Trade Tech College and features more than 40 panel sessions covering a wide range of key topics.

Hear how Alexandria's clear message is encouraging voters and lighting the way for other progressive candidates across the nation as she campaigns with Bernie Sanders and other bold luminaries. More info about Ocasio-Cortez's talk here.

Joining her as keynote speakers will be:

Melina Abullah of Black Lives Matter (Friday, 8:00 PM),

Eric Mann of the Labor/Community Strategy Center (Saturday, 1:00 PM), and Hector Villagra, ACLU of Southern California (Sunday, 11:15 AM).
