On October 2022, the New York Office of the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung celebrated its 10th year of operation. In light of this marker, we looked back on the work we’ve done the past years and looked forward to the challenges and opportunities ahead of us.
During October 28-29, we hosted “Step by Step, Feeling the Ground: Transatlantic Left Dialogue and Internationalism in Our Time,” an international conference that featured panel discussions on the left in government, confronting the far right, racial justice, and the state of multilateralism as well as walking tours that looked up close at gentrification and the impact of the climate crisis on New York City.
Watch the conference below on our YouTube channel.
