Join Dissent for a special fundraiser in New York City where we will celebrate seventy years of a remarkable magazine that continues to provoke, challenge, and inspire.
Help ensure a future for the democratic left. Buy a ticket and bring a friend. Proceeds from this event will support Dissent’s Editorial Fund. In this challenging moment, we hope this event can be a productive gathering for some of the most influential organizers and intellectuals on the left. You are going to want to be in this room!
Enjoy food, drinks, live (unionized) music, a silent auction, and camaraderie. Speakers include AFA President Sara Nelson, Know Your Enemy co-host Matthew Sitman, and others soon to be announced.
Tickets are priced in tiers because we want everyone to have the chance to attend, but do consider giving generously to support the magazine.
