Revolution Club Chicago organizing center 1857 E. 71st Street, Chicago, IL
The entire country (indeed world) has been involved in a beautiful uprising for weeks demanding an end to institutionalized racism and police brutality and murder. What does Lightfoot’s new “progressive” Chief of the Chicago Pig Department (CPD) do? Threatens to illegally round up teenagers and put them in preventive detention for days over the holiday in the middle of a pandemic! For the July 4th holiday, he is planning to put young people in cages to “protect them.” As Frederick Douglass said on July 4th in 1852, “For revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival.” We have one thing to say to the new chief, “Empathetic progressive” my ass, you, sir, are a mad lunatic for whom the answer to every question is prison, prison and more prison. How dare you call these youth “evil murdering bastards”. It is the CPD you lead, notorious around the world for its brutality "who are the 'evil murderous bastards' not our youth who your pigs terrorize daily.”
We in the Revolution Club Chicago also have a message for these youth the pigs want to incarcerate. We will be out in neighborhood hot spots over the holiday weekend recruiting you to learn about and become part of the revolution we need. You who are now killing and maiming each other are capable of something much greater — becoming emancipators of humanity — part of overthrowing this monstrosity of a system that commits crimes here and around the world ... crimes far beyond anything ever imagined by mythology or any small time gangster. This system of capitalism/imperialism has cast people like you aside — burdened and deprived of a life with meaning, then violently contained by marauding pigs along with mental shackles like “dog eat dog” look out for #1 or praying for some savior. The Revolution Club intends to begin marches in areas where this violence among the people is raging to get youth out of the mess they are caught up in and into what is really needed — organizing now to Get Ready for the Time When Millions Can be Led to Go for Revolution, All-Out, With a Real Chance to Win.

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.
