Join us Saturday, Oct. 1, 11 am, to brainstorm about popularizing Bob Avakian's just released book THE NEW COMMUNISM

Dear Friends, We hope you received our emails about the book launch of The New Communism by Bob Avakian. This is your invitation to contribute to making these successful events! The launch in New York City on October 8 will feature readings and commentary by Carl Dix and Cornel West (more information below). There will be TWO venues in Chicago that will livestream this event: the Carter G. Woodson Regional Library on the South Side and our space at 1103 N. Ashland (details below). This will be a great opportunity to introduce more people to Bob Avakian's pathbreaking new book, "written in a way to make even complex theory accessible to a broad audience," as the publisher noted. And the times so urgently demand this theory and a leap in the movement for revolution based on it! Please join us this Saturday, Oct. 1, at 11 am, to brainstorm about how to bring lots of people to these events and raise funds for them and the new book. There's much to do: outreach, publicity, social media, fund raising, set-up on the day, and more. Meet us at 1103 N. Ashland at 11 am with your ideas and your energy. Read up on the book, the 5 things everyone can do to promote it, and what people are saying about it.  The latest invitation to the two livestream events is below. Please share this, bring friends, and see you Saturday morning!

Above: Watch MSNBC's video doc on the Revolution Club at the RNC August 2016 Over the last month, the Revolution Club has been organizing for an actual revolution at the soonest possible time, among people on the streets where murdering police are still getting away with murdering our people, and at the RNC in Cleveland and the DNC in Philadelphia. Your financial support is needed to help cover expenses for the Club's work.   Please make an online donation now! The Revolution Club stirred many new people into political life, with the Message from the RCP Central Committee which plants a pole of a radically different future and digs beneath the surface of things to get to the common source of many, seemingly disconnected, outrages of this system. They fought for the understanding that Trump vs Clinton is nothing but criminal choices of a criminal system. They called out to people: We Need to Overthrow, Not Vote For, This System! They connected people with the works and leadership of BA [Bob Avakian], engaging them with clips from his talk, "Revolution: Nothing Less!" and with "BAsics, from the talks and writings of Bob Avakian." They distributed Revolution newspaper, enabling people to really understand and act to change the world...giving a living picture and scientific analysis of what is going on in the world and why. Club members were strong, determined, and defiant in the face of massive police mobilization, arrests, and brutality at the hands of the pigs, and Nazi and Christian fundamentalist fanatics. They went into the neighborhoods of the oppressed, led people into the streets, and boldly delivered the message: "America was NEVER great--we need to OVERTHROW this system!"  Both at the RNC and at the DNC Joey Johnson and Carl Dix, supported by other Revolution Club members, burnt the American flag to make a powerful statement that America was NEVER great and to expose that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are both "Criminal choices of a criminal system that must be overthrown." At the RNC, Joey and 15 others were illegitimately arrested and have serious charges from the action of burning the flag. Some of your donation will help carry out a political and legal campaign to force the authorities to drop all the charges, including helping defendants get to Cleveland for court appearances.

Send-off Party to Support Volunteers Going to Cleveland to take Revolution to the Republican National Convention! When: Wednesday, July 13, 6:30 pm Where: Revolution Books, 1103 N. Ashland Ave., Chicago The Revolution Club is going to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland to raise a banner of real liberation and project the leader - Bob Avakian - who has shown the way out. Donald Trump and his mob of racist baboons, fascist jackasses, and shit-eating Republican hacks will be strutting around and whipping up the backward and the confused against immigrants, Black people, women, Muslims, and anyone else who doesn't fit his perverted vision of "American greatness." The Revolution Club will be in Cleveland setting different terms on the source of the problem, the real solution, and how to fight for it. We will be joining with others to fight the power and to bring out the truth. We will be there modeling a different, revolutionary way and organizing people into this revolution. We will be preparing the terrain, the people, and the vanguard for the time when millions can actually be led to bring this whole thing down. Most of all we will be projecting the only REAL alternative to the madness and the only REAL way out of it: OVERTHROW, DON'T VOTE FOR, THIS SYSTEM! (Read the full Call to Take Revolution to both Conventions here.)   Support the Volunteers! We plan to give them a rousing send-off party and contribute much-needed funds. Revolution Club members are taking time off from work (if they have work) and will need travel and living expenses on the road. YOUR donation is a powerful expression of support - from $10 to $100 or more - it's all urgently needed and welcome. Bring a dish to share or refreshments to share if you can. Call the Revolution Club at 312-804-9121 for more information.
