This is not the best of all possible worlds and we do not have to live this way! We are building a movement for revolution, now, and you should be a part of this.
So, start organizing your friends to watch together on Sunday August 8. Spread this email to your lists, make a donation and challenge your friends to match it and join the movement for revolution.
On June 20, several hundred people watched the first web-a-thon. 160 people donated and we surpassed met the goal. $10,048 has been raised. This was a success and showed the potential of "giving people the means to become part of this revolutionary movement, and organizing into this movement everyone who wants to make a contribution to it, who wants to work and fight, to struggle and sacrifice, not to keep this nightmare of a world going as it is but to bring a better world into being."[From Message and Call]
This time, with your help spreading the word and challenging others to donate we want to triple the number of people who watch online, and double the number of donors. Our goal is to raise $12,000 towards special projects to popularize Bob Avakian's leadership, including:
-
-
New York City "Revolution in the Park" outdoor film series;
-
initial promotion and publication of BAsics, a pocket sized book of about 100 Bob Avakian quotations to be published later this year;
and more.
So, hold the date, make your plans, and tune in on Sunday August 8!
We will send instructions for tuning in later this week.

Detroit: A billboard high over inbound I-75, and also right in sight of thousands of commuters leaving Detroit on a major street announced the Revolution Talk by Bob Avakian. As thousands of participants in the US Social Forum poured into the city, they got the Message & Call; they had a chance to hear deep and varied presentations from Revolution newspaper correspondents, learn that the revolution is real, and join Carl Dix and others standing with the people in the wake of the police execution of 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones.
