Rebellion Against 1919 Racist Riots and the Revolution We Need Today
July 27th is the 100th anniversary of the white supremacist violence– and the righteous resistance– of 1919. The National Revolution Tour will be at the 31st Street Beach (historically the 29th St. Beach) where on July 27, 1919 a vicious white mob attacked Black people, killing dozens, and sparking a “red summer” of terror and anti-Black violence in Chicago and around the country. Read more on the history of this racist pogrom and how people righteously defended themselves in Chicago in 1919.

The Tour will be bringing out the revolution we need today, saying NO MORE to the violence and crimes against humanity that are still happening today in even more gruesome ways under this system.

At 5:30 pm on Saturday, join the Revolution Tour at the 31st Street Beach as they march, rally, and declare NO MORE!

WELCOME DINNER FOR THE NATIONAL GET ORGANIZED FOR AN ACTUAL REVOLUTION TOUR  
You Think You’re Woke... But You’re Sleepwalking Through A Nightmare —This System Cannot Be Reformed, It Must Be Overthrown!”
 
Millions of people hate the depraved cruelty and danger that confronts people here and around the world. But, they have not known there is a way out of the madness. The Get Organized for An ACTUAL Revolution Tour is bringing that way:

Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds have left their homes and hit the road to put actual revolution, the New Communism developed by Bob Avakian, on the map across this country and beyond – and to organize thousands into the movement for this revolution over the course of the next year.

The tour kicks off its Chicago leg July 12th, 13th, & 14th. Come to the dinner to welcome, support, and learn more about the tour. To assist with food for the dinner, message us or call 312.804.9121.

CALL TO VOLUNTEERS to PROVIDE DINNERS for the NATIONAL Get Organized for an ACTUAL Revolution Tour

Dinners for 30 revolutionaries are needed every day from July 12 through August 17 (6 weeks, 42 days).
The Tour group will be eating together at the Organizing Center at 1857 E. 71st Street at 6:00 pm.
You can make a big contribution by providing nutritious, delicious dinners to sustain the people on this Tour!
Get together a team and pick your date(s).   

Especially needed now are the dinner commitments for the first week that the Tour is in Chicago, July 12 – 19.

There are many ways to participate: You can cook the dinner yourself or with your family members and friends.  You can go to a restaurant for donations of food.  You can buy the meals at a restaurant (doesn’t have to be fancy) or some combination or other way, as long as you provide a complete meal (entrĂ©e, vegetable, maybe bread).

If you are a caterer or know one or have experience with cooking for large groups (church groups, school, family get-togethers), your expertise and advice on what’s involved, ways to carry this out, food safety, transport, etc. are needed whether or not you can provide a meal.

If you don’t cook, you can be part of planning or transporting the food from the kitchens of the cooks to the Organizing Center.

Also needed is someone who can set up a Google calendar (or similar) for this project to show which dates are covered and which ones still need volunteers to take responsibility for that dinner date.

To contact the food team, call 773-469-3445 or email yolisa1980@gmail.com.

Get Ready Chicago


Coming to Chicago in July
THE NATIONAL GET ORGANIZED FOR AN ACTUAL REVOLUTION TOUR 
5-2-6, JULY 13
On June 8, in the streets of South Central Los Angeles, a beginning force for an actual revolution came on the scene. In the discipline, defiance and joy of the revolutionary cohort marching with chants that put forward the goal of revolution for the emancipation of humanity, is a glimpse of the potential this represents. To see the story of June 8 & 9 in Los Angeles, go to http://www.revcom.us./
Now, the National Get Organized For An Actual Revolution Tour is coming to Chicago! In the city that is known worldwide for not having any future for Black youth, we aim to make real the specter raised in L.A. of an organized force growing for an actual revolution. Black, white, Latino, and Asian, different genders, young and old, stepping forward together to hasten the time when this whole system - that has no future for any of our youth anywhere in the world - can be overthrown, and replaced with something radically better.
The tour will be in Chicago for six weeks, beginning July 13: disturbing the air throughout the city and organizing forces for revolution, especially on the South and West sides. It will start with a kickoff weekend July 12, 13, 14. 
  • July 12 - welcome dinner for the tour at the Revolution Club Organizing Center.
  • July 13 - the official kickoff begins with mini-rallies and marches all over the city.
  • July 14 - film showing of the speech from Bob Avakian, Why We Need An Actual Revolution And How We Can Really Make Revolution.
There will be a nationwide fundraising weekend for the tour on July 27 and 28. This will all come together in mid-August with a major manifestation of the revolution and with a city-wide film showing of Why We Need An Actual Revolution And How We Can Really Make Revolution.
This week, Revolution Club Chicago and supporters met to make plans to kick this off right, on the basis of bringing forward and relying on many people who have had enough of the horrors of this system, can be challenged by the need for revolution, and would be inspired by and want to realize the vision of this tour. Your ideas and efforts are needed, in ways big and small.
There are many ways to contribute to this effort and four teams you can connect with. To contact the teams, call 312.804.9121, email revclub.chi@gmail.com, or DM us on social media @revclubchi.
Billboard on the Expressway!
The first step of building a revolutionary force is to totally change what people see as necessary and possible. Help us spread the message and tell the story of the image at the top of this page. We need to raise in the range of $2,000 to $5,000 right away to put up a billboard on the expressway. Also needed is art for the billboard and your ideas to help spread this message and tell this story. To find out more go to @tuneintorevcom and http://www.revcom.us./
