Refuse Fascism & Revcoms hold a socially distanced protest at Terminal Island Federal Correction Institution in San Pedro, California
| revcom.us
On May 2, the Revcoms along with Refuse Fascism car caravaned to Terminal Island Federal Prison, one day after the “Re-Open” rallies took place, where here in California, two futures faced off, with the Trump MAGA, anti-science fascists fully displaying their ignorance, their white supremacy, and their misogyny; and with the Revcoms, uniting with Refuse Fascism’s righteous struggle to oust this fascist regime through mass nonviolent mobilization, because of the real danger this regime poses to humanity and the planet.
Terminal Island Federal Prison is where 70% of inmates have tested positive for COVID-19. The car caravan went through neighborhoods of South Central Los Angeles before heading to the prison, where they did a social distance protest in front of the prison because it concentrates the situation in prisons, jails, and detention centers all over this country where people are disregarded, cast off and where we could be about to witness the death penalty being given to thousands in America’s prisons. The 2.3 million people locked down in America’s prisons (about 60 percent Black or Latino) are being forced to face the deadly coronavirus without consistent access to soap and water, without masks, with no ability to do “social distancing.” Many whose crimes were as petty as drug use or stealing a bicycle, and many who haven’t been convicted but just can’t pay bail. And all of whom are human beings now facing mass death if things continue as they are.
We delivered body bags to Terminal Island Federal Correctional Prison indicting the Trump/Pence fascist regime for the high rate of cases & the 5 latest deaths

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.
