Chicago: South Asian Protesters Call Out the Fascist Modi
| revcom.us
Chanting “Modi, Hitler,” “Modi, Butcher,” and “Hindu, Muslim Brothers” (in Hindi) 200 plus protesters, almost all with roots in South Asia and primarily Muslim, rallied in Chicago Saturday. Calling for secularism and calling out fascism, a variety of people spoke from the stage.
Refuse Fascism and the Revolution Club had been notified about the protest by one of the organizers who wrote: “Need of the Hour...is to speak out and register our Protest...As we all know that an undemocratic and unconstitutional law Citizenship Amendment Act has been brought into being by force; by force of the current ruling Fascist Hindutva BJP in India and we Indians irrespective of our individual Faith and Beliefs reject this unlawful law outright and pledge and take a solemn oath to not produce any document upon inquiry and in the process safeguard our Brethren in India, irrespective of who they are...and this to protect the right of every citizen of India and we aim to stand for this cause till the end...and this is our firm allegiance toward the constitution of India.”
Two of us from the Revolution Club attended and received a very warm welcome. We had decided it would be important to introduce participants to Bob Avakian. Every copy of BA’s official biography and What Is Fascism? pamphlet and 5-2-6 broadsheet we brought were distributed by the end of the protest along with many copies of Refuse Fascism’s plan for January. Engagements were brief in the midst of the protest. People were intrigued and surprised to learn we were organizing for an actual revolution here. Most people we spoke with said that Trump, too, was a fascist and many spoke of this as a horrific global phenomenon. Several people gave information to stay in touch.

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.
