Dear Friend,
It’s been one year since the premiere of BA Speaks: Revolution – Nothing Less! If you've seen this film, think back on that experience: Remember how it felt when you saw BA for the first time breaking down where the horrors of this world come from and lifting your sights to how the world could be. Remember how it felt to see this daring, substantive film that liberates and inspires. Has anything that has happened in the past year made the need for revolution any less pressing? The not guilty verdict for Trayvon Martin’s murderer George Zimmerman? The mistrial for Jordan Davis’ murderer Michael Dunn? The attack on abortion rights and the ongoing global epidemic of rape? Drone murders, government spying and imperialist wars? NO! Now, more than ever, the world needs revolution, and people need to hear and experience what the revolutionary leader, Bob Avakian, BA, has brought forward in this film.
Be a part of making sure this film is watched by growing numbers of people by supporting and spreading the BA Everywhere Campaign – a national fund raising campaign to raise large sums of money so that BA becomes a household word and his vision, framework, and strategy for a radically different and better way the world could be can become a contending pole throughout society. Get BA Speaks: Revolution – Nothing Less! to everyone you know, and join in the national weekend of fundraising and showing the film on March 27-30th.
You can start now by copying what's below and sending it to everyone you know!
Dear Friend,
You need to see BA Speaks: Revolution — Nothing Less! In this incredible talk, Bob Avakian (BA) breaks down the horrors of this world and exposes why we live with police murder and brutality, the oppression of women, imperialist wars and drone murder, just to name a few. BA also lifts people’s sights to how a radically better world is possible, through revolution. People need to get into this film, and they need to know BA so that they have a vision of a whole new world and an understanding that the horrors of today need not be forever!
The world today is a nightmare for billions of people whose lives are crushed under the weight of the capitalist-imperialist system we live under. Black youth like Trayvon Martin can’t leave the house to pick up Skittles and an ice tea without the threat of being gunned down for being a so-called “threat.” Women can’t walk down the street at night without the fear of assault and rape. Millions of people around the world can’t leave their homes without the terror of knowing they may be the next accounted for as “collateral damage.” This is the reality we live in and the new synthesis of communism that BA has developed and that’s concentrated in the film BA Speaks: Revolution – Nothing Less! is the real way forward.
Imagine if millions of people were getting into the film and getting to know BA and the new synthesis. Imagine a society filled with debate and wrangling over why the world is the way it is and what a new world could be like. For this to happen, it will take your financial support. The BA Everywhere Campaign is a mass campaign raising the funds needed to make BA known to millions throughout society. We need to raise funds to rent theaters across the country, to advertise and promote the film, to spread this campaign on the web and to do big-scale promotion.
In the face of the horrors of this world, are you going to be part of making it possible for millions of people to learn about and debate the way out of all this? Or, are you going to close your eyes to the horrors and let the world churn on, crushing lives and destroying the planet? Donate generously to, and contribute your creativity and effort to making BA known and what he has brought forward known now. Get into and show others BA Speaks: Revolution — Nothing Less! Be a part of radically changing the world.
