Left Turn Explained

Left Turn was a bimonthly activist news magazine that focused on international social justice movements. Based in New York City and produced by an all volunteer editorial collective, the magazine promoted anti-imperialism and anti-authoritarianism.^{[1] [2]}

Left Turn had its roots in the anti-capitalist wing of the Global Justice Movement^[3] and was founded in the wake of the anti-WTO protests in Seattle in 1999 by a small group of socialists.^[4]

The magazine's tagline, "Notes from the Global Intifada", was inspired by the then ongoing Palestinian intifada.^[5] The magazine supported grassroots activists with the Palestine Solidarity Movement.^[6] The magazine ceased print publication after the August 2011 issue,^[7] but continues to operate a website.^{[8] [9]}
