Last week, we announced a $30,000 goal in the National Campaign to Get @BobAvakianOfficial Everywhere.
Read that here.
Below is a letter you can use to reach out widely asking for funds. Every donation matters—from $5 to $50. We should also be reaching those with the resources to give much, much more.
As we wrote last week, "Now is the time to reach very, very widely in this. There is almost no one untouched by the moves of the Trump/MAGA regime and millions and millions of people are agonized about what is happening and what to do. Bringing them Bob Avakian's work—these interviews, this New Year's message and his social media—brings clarity and direction. It changes the debate and discussion and raises people's sights to the need and possibility of a different way to live, and a fundamentally different system."
Right now, especially, people need to hear Bob Avakian, and be given a way to contribute to get this to many others.
Use this flyer and this fundraising letter.

Dear
I write you in a time of great urgency with a way you can have a real, positive impact on the future.
Will you donate to a national campaign to get out the one voice that’s been warning about, analyzing, leading struggle against fascism and—at the same time—raising people’s sights to a whole different way the world could be?
This is the work that Bob Avakian has been doing for decades. And reaching millions with this voice is the mission of the campaign to get Bob Avakian's social media, @BobAvakianOfficial, everywhere.
Over the last weeks, referencing what Bob Avakian has been arguing for, more than a few have said, "you've been right all along. I wish I'd listened."
Bob Avakian (BA) is a revolutionary leader who has brought forward the new communism. He's been analyzing the rise of fascism in the U.S. for 30 years, and has been pointing to the extreme danger of Trump/MAGA fascism for almost 10 years.
A lot of this is crystallized in Avakian's New Year's message, "2025: A New Year—Profound New Challenges—And A Profoundly Positive Way Forward In the Face of Very Real Horror."
In addition, he just did a two-part Interview with Sunsara Taylor where he speaks to the most burning questions of the moment which include: Why, right after the election, did he say that “this is not a time for demoralization and despair—it is a time for righteous anger and revolutionary determination”? What would the future revolutionary society look like? Why isn't the problem just greedy CEO’s? What does he say to people who argue that “the American people voted for Trump” so we should just accept this? What kind of meaningful protest is needed now? And how can people find their courage in such heavy times?
Your donation can help Bob Avakian’s message break through the paralysis and demoralization that too many good people are giving in to, while the Trump regime hurtles ahead to lock down a fascist America. Your donation can help Bob Avakian’s visionary leadership shatter the lie that capitalism is the best of all possible worlds. Your donation can help change what people are encountering and debating.
The National Campaign to Get @BobAvakianOfficial Everywhere is in the midst of online advertising which reaches millions, with many thousands digging into what Avakian is saying. This is being accompanied by a grassroots movement spreading posters, stickers, flyers and more. All of this requires funds. We are aiming to raise $30,000 by March 31 to make all this possible.
We are also working to raise an additional $25,000 to hire a national guerrilla marketing company to reach into big cities and small towns with creative, in-your-face posters. (You've seen the big posters advertising movies or upcoming concerts. Imagine this kind of attention-getting posters but with a revolutionary message—reverberating with online and on-the-ground reach, forcing people to sit up and take notice.)
What people understand will shape what they do, and do not do. Your donation will help Bob Avakian’s voice go up against the well-funded media mouthpieces and politicians of this system, which either uphold this fascism, or in many ways, counsel people to go along with it.
In a time when the whole future is on the line, donate to reaching millions with “a profoundly positive way forward, in the face of very real horror.”
Best,
PS. Without advertising, social media that tells the truth gets buried in noise and distraction. And it will not spread on its own—it needs resources, reach, and those who refuse to stand by while this system crushes lives. Please donate today.
