Young man in Seattle who is raising funds to be able to attend the Dialogue
November 10, 2014 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us
I am inspired to be at this extremely important and timely discussion on Religion and Emancipation with Bob Avakian and Cornel West. I find myself with a unique disposition for observing this discussion, as I do not ascribe to religion or atheism, yet see myself as a spiritual being with free agency for critical thought and objective adjustment.
I have been active in community organizing and social struggle for over eight years now, and have progressed my analysis of the dire times we live in. As a devoted revolutionary, I understand the idea to have grabbed hold of me, not me of it. While movements cannot be forced, they can be realized. I see this discussion as an important step to realizing where we stand as diverse people on a very touchy yet relevant subject affecting the way we relate to our worlds, each other, struggle, and hope for emancipation. It is under this premise that I desire to share the space where this great Dialogue will be engaged with two incredible thought leaders of our time.
It's high time to galvanize! Let's do this!
In struggle,
-R, Seattle
