"Everyone who saw the film, everyone who planned to see the film but missed it, everyone with a heart for humanity and who the movement for revolution can reach ...should be at these National BA Everywhere Dinners celebrating the release of BA Speaks: REVOLUTION - NOTHING LESS! and making plans to spread the film far and wide and raising funds so that this film, this leader, and the vision and plan for revolution are known...

 "The dinners are an opportunity to break bread together and renew the experience of the premieres and carry forward the desire people spoke of for others to see this film. The dinners should be built for and they should have the spirit and mission of coming together to make a huge difference in the lives of the people of the world by spreading this powerful talk by BA far and wide-because people need to know there is a way out and there is a leadership to enable them to realize their potential as emancipators of humanity."

Rev Books Needs Your Support Now!

Revolution Books faces a financial crisis.  $1500 needs to be raised in the next 2 weeks. 
What goes on at Revolution Books is more important than ever. On March 16 RB sponsored the premiere of BA Speaks: Revolution-Nothing Less! This marked the launch of something new in the world, powerfully making the case for the need and basis for revolution.

This year RB hosted author Rabbi Brant Rosen, screenedbeneath the blindfold with filmmaker Kathy Berger, participated in the Chicago Climate Crisis Conference, and went into the streets on the anniversary of Trayvon Martin's murder and for International Woman's Day. Our work involves exposing and resisting the ways humanity is beaten down and the planet is threatened, and getting deeply into how it does not have to be this way especially through bringing to people and engaging the path-breaking vision and strategy for a radically new society and world in the work of Bob Avakian.  

Exclamation Triangle
$1500 is required in the next 2 weeks to cover operating costs. Your financial support and involvement in many ways is needed stay open and to expand RB's books, its work, and its presence.
