***Left Turn*** was a bimonthly activist [news magazine](/source/News_magazine) that focused on international social justice movements. Based in [New York City](/source/New_York_City) and produced by an all volunteer editorial collective, the magazine promoted [anti-imperialism](/source/Anti-imperialism) and [anti-authoritarianism](/source/Anti-authoritarianism).[1][2]

*Left Turn* had its roots in the [anti-capitalist](/source/Anti-capitalism) wing of the [Global Justice Movement](/source/Global_Justice_Movement)[3] and was founded in the wake of the [anti-WTO protests](/source/World_Trade_Organization_Ministerial_Conference_of_1999_protest_activity) 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](/source/Second_Intifada).[5] The magazine supported grassroots activists with the [Palestine Solidarity Movement](/source/Palestine_Solidarity_Movement).[6] The magazine ceased print publication after the August 2011 issue,[7] but continues to operate a website.[8][9]
