Fifty issues of the magazine have been published since the pilot issue of June 1990. The magazine was launched at a time of great demoralization and uncertainty among almost all parts of the political left, in the U.S. and internationally. The graphics in the pilot issue included "fractals", graphic depictions of Chaos Theory, reflecting the belief that order and a new direction for left politics would emerge out of the political chaos of the period. Five years later, CrossRoads is now looking toward the end of the century with rising hopes. There is a lot of progressive organizing underway in this country and around the world, and every month CrossRoads draws out the lessons and ideas of these efforts. The Web page features information about the magazine, including summaries of back issues, cover artwork and the full text of selected issues of the magazine. In addition, several articles from each issue are posted on the IGC conferences, under the title "crossroads". If you've never heard of CrossRoads, check it out.
