On June 27, more than 2,000 people gathered outside the Japanese American National Museum in Little Tokyo in Los Angeles to protest the government’s moves to establish a concentration camp for immigrant children at Fort Sill, a military base which during World War 2 was a concentration camp for 700 men of Japanese descent. The rally site was the very place where, during World War 2, people of Japanese descent were lined up to board buses taking them to those concentration camps across the western U.S.

Japanese and Korean Americans, including many youth, were joined by Native American and Latino people, middle-aged and young white people, and others. Speakers from various perspectives exposed the crimes of this country—from slavery to genocide of Native people to what’s being done to immigrants today. On the stage and among the crowd, people chanted: NEVER AGAIN IS NOW!

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.
