Climate Change, the Torture of the Immigrants by the U.S., and a Whole Different—and Far Better—Answer to These Horrors
| revcom.us
We urge our readers to check out two recent articles in the mainstream media. The article “How Climate Change Is Fuelling the U.S. Border Crisis,” from The New Yorker magazine, shows how the climate crisis—largely created and driven forward by the workings of the capitalist-imperialist system—has been pushing immigrants out of their homes to make the dangerous journey to the U.S. The main forms of this system’s oppression are bound together by a thousand chains. And an opinion piece by a migrant from Honduras, “We Fled the Gangs in Honduras. Then the U.S. Government Took My Baby,” from the New York Times, shows the effects of the heartless policy pursued by U.S. imperialism, and the Trump/Pence fascist regime in particular, toward the victims of this crisis.
These articles shed some important light on the horrors caused by this system, in particular the environmental emergency that is a big factor in the refugee crisis (and threatens the very future of humanity and other life on earth) and the cruel, deadly repression by the U.S. against immigrants. The system that rules over us now has NO answer to these and any of the other problems confronting humanity and causing the needless suffering of billions worldwide.
But as the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America, authored by Bob Avakian, brings alive in very concrete ways, a radically different state power proceeding from the interests of humanity can go to work on these problems in real ways. We urgently need a revolution to overthrow the capitalist-imperialist system and to bring the new socialist state into being. For more on HOW such a socialist state would approach and tackle the questions of the climate crisis, immigration, and relations with nations formerly oppressed by the U.S., go to these sections in the Constitution for a New Socialist Republic in North America: Article I, Section 2B, The Environment, p.21; Article II, Section 3H, Immigrants, Citizenship and Asylum, p.60; and Article I, Section 2E, International Relations, p. 37.

Together, WE passed $40,000 in revcom's Winter fundraising campaign to “Transform Revcom.us’ Web Technology and Presence”!
Reaching this goal is a real achievement and a victory for the people of the world, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated efforts of many people working creatively and collectively to meet this pressing need: those who donated whether large or small contributions, who fundraised, who spread the campaign, who sent statements, who raised comments, questions, criticisms or suggestions – and of course those who worked so hard on modernizing and upgrading our web technology and presence. It all made a difference!
The Ongoing Need for Sustainers
During this four month fund drive, Revcom.us continued to incur thousands of dollars of costs each month for our office, maintaining our existing site and other expenses. But thanks to our existing monthly sustainers we were able to meet these expenses and use all the funds raised in the drive to transform the website.
So we encourage all our donors and those who’ve not yet donated to become monthly sustainers at whatever level you can afford.
Remember, humanity’s fate truly hinges on millions taking up the revolutionary science, strategy, and new communism brought forward by Bob Avakian which they can find at revcom.us.
You’ve read this article and now you need to be part of making sure revcom.us is able to make an urgently needed leap and transformation.
