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]
