Freeways have a special meaning in Los Angeles—a huge city of 3.8 million with the busiest freeways in the country.  “Rush hour” is an all day thing and part of the life in the city.

People in this city got inspired to reach those millions.

As one dimension of the national campaign to Get @BobAvakianOfficial Everywhere, a small team, including new people inspired by this plan, created simple 4’ x 4’ freeway overpass boards with the simple slogan “Bob Avakian Official—Leadership for a Real Revolution In These Times.” They made sure these would be inexpensive and easy to make and also weatherproof and unmissable!

And the impact?  One of the signs that stayed up for 5 days was seen by well over 100,000 people.  Multiply this by the dozens of overpasses that radiate from the city center. 

And there was an immediate response from friends and family and political contacts—people reaching out with “I saw the Bob Avakian signs today…”  At least one person felt compelled to take a picture of the signs and tweeted about it—with a snarky tone, but still spread it further.

We are at a turning point in history. The capitalist-imperialist system is a horror for billions of people here and around the world and threatening the very fabric of life on earth. Now the election of fascist Trump poses even more extreme dangers for humanity—and underscores the total illegitimacy of this system, and the urgent need for a radically different system.

The website Revcom.us follows the revolutionary leadership of Bob Avakian (BA), the author of the new communism. Bob Avakian has scientifically analyzed that we are in a rare time when an actual revolution has become more possible in the U.S. He’s charted a strategy for making that revolution, and laid out a sweeping vision and concrete blueprint for “what comes next” in the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America.

Revcom.us projects BA’s voice, leadership, and vision throughout society. It posts his timely leadership for the revcoms (revolutionary communists) and the whole movement for revolution, including his social media posts, and curates his whole body of work. 

Our website applies the scientific approach BA has developed to analyze major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how they relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this, and what the goals of that revolution are.

Revcom.us acts as a guiding and connecting hub for the revcom movement nationwide: showing what’s being done, digging into what’s right and what’s wrong, and rapidly learning—and recruiting new people into what has to be a rapidly growing force. As part of this, revcom.us feature and promotes the weekly The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show on YouTube.com. 

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

DONATE NOW to revcom.us and get with BA and the revcoms!
