Support Occupy Chicago
An extraordinary event has broken out in society. A
breath
of fresh air is blowing across the country from the Occupy Wall Street
movement to many, many other cities including Occupy Chicago.
Revolution Books is calling on everyone to go to Occupy Chicago and
stand with these courageous young resisters. We know that many on our
email list will be interested in attending or observing this growing
movement in action.
These
are times when the most fundamental questions are being thrown up and
there is openness to hearing about revolutionary solutions that has not
existed for years. While people are coming from many different
outlooks, there is a great shared feeling that something is terribly
wrong in society, and the world, and we are going to do something about
it. The essay at the end of Chapter 3 of Bob Avakian's new book BAsics
goes into the importance of such moments, that "create situations in
which many more people are searching for answers and are open to
considering radical change."
This
is what can be seen in the Occupy movement, and why it is so important
for Revolution Books to support and be part of the mix. Volunteers are
needed to help out at both the store and at the Occupy Chicago site. We
will be at the Occupy Chicago site from 7-9 pm every night. Come lend a
hand, and be part of it. But don't stay home!
There will be frequent updates from Revolution Books. Watch for emails.
