Los Angeles, March 10—As Israel escalates its U.S.-backed genocidal slaughter and starvation of Palestinians, The Revcom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity joined protests called by Jewish Voice for Peace, Filmmakers for Palestine, and SAG-AFTRA Members for Ceasefire to keep ALL EYES ON RAFAH outside the Academy Awards. Almost 1,000 people marched through the streets, snarling traffic and even delaying the awards ceremony.

Inside, Jonathan Glazer (director of The Zone of Interest) gave an important speech objecting to "Jewishness and the Holocaust being hijacked by an occupation." And a number of actors and artists wore Artists for Ceasefire pins. But overall there was way too little protest and way too much silence about the genocide being backed by their government.

The Revcom Corps for the Emancipation of Humanity united with this righteous protest and also challenged people there with the powerful and clarifying truth from revolutionary leader Bob Avakian's social media account @BobAvakianOfficial about Palestine, U.S. imperialism, and the revolutionary solution.

DONATE to revcom.us
DONATE to the revolution.

From the genocide in Gaza, to the growing threat of world war between nuclear powers, to escalating environmental devastation… the capitalist-imperialist system ruling over us is a horror for billions around the world and is tearing up the fabric of life on earth. Now the all-out battle within the U.S. ruling class, between fascist Republicans and war criminal Democrats, is coming to a head—likely during, or before, the coming elections—ripping society apart unlike anything since the Civil War. 

Bob Avakian (BA), revolutionary leader and author of the new communism, has developed a strategy to prepare for and make revolution. He’s scientifically analyzed that this is a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible, and has laid out the sweeping vision, solid foundation and concrete blueprint for “what comes next,” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America

The website revcom.us follows and applies that leadership and is essential to all this. We post new materials from BA and curate his whole body of work. We apply the science he’s developed to analyze and expose every key event in society, every week. Revcom.us posts BA’s timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists), including his social media posts which break this down for people every week and sometimes more. We act as a guiding and connecting hub for the growing revcom movement nationwide: not just showing what’s being done, but going into what’s right and what’s wrong and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force.

Put it this way: there will be no revolution unless this website not only “keeps going” but goes up to a whole different level!

So what should you give to make 2024 our year—a year of revolution? 
Everything you possibly can!
