ANNOUNCING THE BASICS BUS TOUR
KICKING OFF FROM NEW YORK CITY
REVERBERATING ACROSS THE COUNTRY
Be Part of Taking the BAsics Bus Tour Higher
People have begun to volunteer and teams are beginning to be assembled to build for this leg of the tour. But in order to make this tour happen, and for it to reverberate across the country-many hundreds need to be involved nationally and in NY itself. $50,000 is needed to have a real impact-in this region... and across the country. The situation in the world is demanding that people know about Avakian's work, and
 have a chance to be part of the movement to bring a radically different world into being. This is a crying need-and if we are able to reach out far and wide, tap into the inspiration and excitement (see the statements of support at basicsbustour.tumblr.com) that the boldness of this bus tour has garnered, and organize cores of people to come together and raise the funds in broad and creative ways-this can be made possible. |
 
BAsics is a book of quotations and essays from Bob Avakian - the revolutionary leader who has developed a new synthesis of communism. This Bus Tour is about putting this revolution on the map, spreading Avakian's work and involving people in BA Everywhere... Imagine the Difference It Could Make, a mass campaign to raise big money to project Bob Avakian's vision and works throughout society. YOU can be part of supporting this Tour and joining with others across the country in doing so. Follow and share this blog. Contact us at baeverywhere@gmail.com .

On the BAsics Bus Tour blog find out more about the recent Southern leg of the Tour. Read and listen to Michael Slate's interviews with the people of Sanford:
" I Couldn't Put It Down: Getting Down to BAsics With the People of Sanford"
by Michael Slate:
"... Virginia
 "I met Virginia at the speak-out the BAsics Bus Tour held outside the Sanford Police Department. I spotted her driving past the rally a few times before she finally pulled over and parked. A few minutes later she got out of her car and began filming the speak-out with her phone... She told me later that it was anger, hope, and inspiration that kept her there. 'When I seen you all marching, I was like, there should be more people here, you know, I was like, wow. And then I seen other people stopping and I had stopped and that's why I came over because of the fact that I knew you all were doing something very good. It makes us feel good to know that people are standing together and they really care about what is going on here, and that you're on our side. So that means a lot for me.'" |
