About Me


Next Left Notes (aka NLN) is an independent publication that is fiercely New Left and anti-authoritarian. Unlike the Corporate Press, which claims no bias (really?) we wear our bias on our collective sleeves: we are for participatory democracy and direct action. Like the magazine that inspired NLN - New Left Notes, voice of SDS in the 1960s - our political persuasion is simple: Let The People Decide. Our role in the Movement for a Democratic Society is to cover the New Left, actions, conferences and all other aspects of the Struggle for a Democratic Society. We’ll see you in the streets.
