There is very developed theory; there is a very visionary and concrete program for a radically new society, aiming toward a radically different world as a whole, embodied in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America (Draft Proposal); there is a real strategy for making revolution—preparing for and then, when the conditions have come into being, carrying out this revolution—concentrated in the statement "On the Strategy for Revolution"; there is the highest level of leadership we could have, in BA, who has brought forward a new synthesis of communism which involves a whole strategic approach to communist revolution; and there is a core of collective leadership, embodied in the RCP, which is carrying out work for revolution based on that new synthesis of communism. What is missing is YOU. If you are sick to death of the way the world is, and the way so many people are mistreated, counted as less than human and used and abused by the people holding power over us, if you are outraged by the fact that so many of the youth, all over the world, have no future, and that the future of humanity as a whole is seriously threatened by the way this system operates, then YOU have to become part of the initiators of a new stage of the revolution that is needed, part of the new people who step forward to in turn bring forward hundreds, then thousands, who will influence now and eventually lead millions and millions to make revolution when the time is right. What is needed is for you, and many more people like you, in growing numbers, to jump in with this, to become part of building this movement for revolution, and organizing forces for revolution, contributing whatever you can at any point, and winning more people to this, while you continue to learn more about this, and deepen your commitment and involvement as you deepen your knowledge about this. Otherwise, the world will just stay as it is, all the madness and everything people are put through will just keep going on, or get even worse, generation after generation.

Revolutionary Communist Party, USA
Join Us! Twelve Ways That YOU Can Be Part of Building the Movement for Revolution – Right Now
Begin by watching the film BA Speaks: REVOLUTION—NOTHING LESS! Bob Avakian Live. (The film is available on DVD at revcom.us/movement-for-revolution/BAE/film.) Watch some of the DVD every day. Read BAsics, the book of quotations and short essays by Bob Avakian. These enable you to get deeper into the ideas that guide the revolution.
Donate money to the campaign to project Bob Avakian's vision and works into every corner of society, BA Everywhere... Imagine the Difference It Could Make (online at revcom.us or send to RCP Publications address below). Arrange each month to give something. Be part of building this campaign – letting everyone know about, and get into, the new synthesis of communism that BA has brought forward and the leadership he's giving to the movement for revolution.
Read Revolution newspaper every week. Learn what's really going on in the world and stay connected to the movement for revolution. Get a subscription. (e-sub at revcom.us or order the print edition)
Tape up a revolutionary poster or a palm-card or a flier or even an article from Revolution newspaper in a hallway, in a bathroom stall, wherever you can... If you have a business, or work in a restaurant or beauty parlor etc. with a friendly owner, or know someone who does, put it up there. This gets the word out, and it lets people see that there are other people who support the revolution. Five or ten posters in the hallways of a large building or on street corners will be seen by thousands.
Leave cards or fliers or copies of Revolution newspaper on bus seats, in a laundromat, a library, a classroom, or a barbershop. Watch how people respond. This also gets the word out and builds support for the revolution, and it lets the movement learn how well it is doing at influencing people. Talk about people's responses with someone from the movement for revolution.
Get the image of Bob Avakian around everywhere you can – tape it up, or leave palmcards with it. This will make those who don't know about BA curious, and for those who do it will give them encouragement to get more into this.
Play the BA Speaks: REVOLUTION—NOTHING LESS! Bob Avakian Live DVD where you live when people come over. See what it sparks in people, and talk it over with them.
Talk with others you trust about the revolution, and then give feedback to people in the revolutionary movement. Let them know what questions the newspaper should be addressing. Share what you are learning, and be part of the movement that is learning how to speak more deeply and clearly to the people.
Stand with the movement for revolution. When you see the movement for revolution in your area, be part of the crowd that supports the revolutionaries. Find out where they will be regularly and when they will be there, show up. You will let other people know that there is support, and you will encourage them to step forward and hear what the revolutionaries have to say.
If you are in a neighborhood where there is a people's neighborhood patrol, travel with the patrol when they go out. You can begin by being part of the crowd that is watching them, and watching out for them, or letting them know where there are regular patterns of police harassment and brutality in the neighborhood.
Raise money for the movement for revolution. Do a yard sale, sell dinners, have a party or find ways to enable people to support the revolution.
Come to a meeting called by the movement for revolution in your area, or see if the revolutionaries can make a trip to your area. Contact rcppubs@hotmail.com to get connected. Learn about and be part of making the plans for fighting the power, and transforming the people, for revolution.
If you do any or all of these, you will be part of the thousands who are influencing millions toward revolution today... you will be challenging and changing the way people see things, and preparing those millions to make revolution, when the conditions emerge to do so.
