In NY and DC, dramatic posters with these messages have begun appearing on city streets:

These are part of the National Campaign to Get @BobAvakianOfficial Reaching Everywhere. This is the social media platform of the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian (BA) who is providing real-time and visionary leadership in this history-making moment with urgent stakes of defeating fascism, and doing so as part of getting rid of the system that's given rise to this fascism and so many other atrocities.

These high-visibility, high-impact posters will be going up in NY and DC for the next two weeks. To fund this effort, and to spread it to other cities, we need to meet the goal of raising $30,000 by July 1.

If you're just finding out about Bob Avakian's work, or if you've been digging into it for some time, be part of spreading this further. Now is a time to reach very widely. We're enclosing a basic outline of a fundraising letter that you can use—personalize it, send it to friends, family, people you've worked with and people you've never met before. We'll have an updated flyer to you soon. 

If you're meeting someone to ask for funds, or having a phone or email conversation, the best thing is to have them engage BA's work directly. That's what we're aiming to impact society with, so the more they get into the content of this, the better. As we point to in the letter below, we encourage people to watch this clip from an interview that was done with BA earlier this year where he speaks to why we say that: "In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America," and "this whole system is rotten and illegitimate: we need and we demand, a whole new way to live and a fundamentally different system." Or go into Part 2 of the Interview that gets more into the breakthroughs in the new communism.

We'll be sharing more soon from experiences on the ground, so write to us at info@BobAvakianOfficialEverywhere.org.

Dear friends,

I write you at a turning point.

The Trump fascist regime is moving very quickly—the military marching through city streets, smashing through the Constitution and the separation of powers. Senators are manhandled, courts are defied and now whole sections of people go to bed or go to work in terror at being torn from their families. 

This week those fascist moves have been met by the action of millions of decent people with a sense of justice, standing up, and saying no—in our millions. 

But where this goes will pivot on what these people—and millions more like them—do and do not understand. 

Will you make a contribution to changing what these millions understand by donating to the campaign to get the real-time leadership that Bob Avakian is providing reaching throughout society? 

Bob Avakian (BA) is a revolutionary leader who has brought forward the new communism, a whole new framework for human emancipation. He's also been making a close analysis of and sounding the alarm about the rise of fascism in the U.S. for over 30 years. His work cuts through the noise and distraction with profound clarity: about what we are facing with Trump/MAGA fascism, what it comes out of, and how this fascism can actually be defeated before it's too late. And he has developed a profound vision and strategic approach for a whole new way to live—with a fundamentally different system.

As an introduction, watch this clip from an interview that was done with BA in January of this year where he speaks to why we say that: "In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America," and "this whole system is rotten and illegitimate: we need and we demand, a whole new way to live and a fundamentally different system." 

The National Campaign to Get @BobAvakianOfficial Everywhere has a goal of raising $30,000 by July 1. This will fund a high-impact poster project in a number of cities (starting with NY and DC as a pilot project), combined with targeted online advertising. 

These will drive people to Bob Avakian's social media message, and his work overall. 

As I wrote at the top: history will pivot on what people do and do not understand.

Will the millions who are agonized and angry about fascism get pulled into normalizing all this with the delusion that "it can't happen here"? Will they stay "within the confines of ‘how things work’ under this system, as Democratic Party heads and other ‘mainstream’ ruling class representatives are urging people to do"? Will their dreams stay suffocated by the false notion that there is no alternative to capitalism-imperialism, fueling hopelessness and cynicism? 

BA shatters all these wrong views, and more. He is providing answers, and a scientific approach, that people need to seriously engage, debate and take up. But reaching people—up against what the powers-that-be don't want people to know—will take a concerted effort, and it will take funds. 

In this high-stakes situation, there are also a lot of people working hard so that people don't hear about Bob Avakian. There are the fascists that are working to shut down all debate and dissent. There are the mainstream mouthpieces of this system desperate to keep the opposition to fascism within the narrowest terms of the very system that gave rise to this fascism. And there are those within the social movements who have carved out a niche for themselves as a critic of this system who feel that position would be challenged by breaking open a serious debate over real revolution vs. reform, so instead promote a lot of unthinking slander about BA (BA spoke to this directly here).

Your contribution will help break through all that—cracking the blind and unthinking anti-communist dismissal that gives rise to hopelessness and low dreams. 

Right now, as we unite to defeat fascism, we need to open up and foster this much bigger debate, shedding the cynicism and raising people's sights: acting in the interests of the people of the world, being inspired by and coming to fight for a real way out of the madness. 

But again, reaching throughout society with this now depends on your generous contribution.

I look forward to discussing this with you soon.
