We are facing an unprecedented leap in the consolidation of fascism in the most powerful country in the world, with the whole future of humanity very immediately on the line. In these unprecedented times, there is urgency in reaching millions of people with Bob Avakian’s messages and leadership. Bob Avakian (BA) is a revolutionary leader who has brought forward the new communism, and he's been sounding the alarm about the rise of fascism in the U.S. for over 30 years. Right now, through his social media messages, he is providing leadership for how to understand what is happening and what's needed—analysis and vision, and a scientific method that millions need to take up and apply themselves to the extremely rapid and often confusing events.
Bob Avakian is providing clarity, and leadership to see and fight our way through this nightmare—to the necessity, possibility, and potential to drive out the Trump fascist regime, uniting all who can be united in this momentous fight. He is bringing an understanding of the roots of this fascism in the system of capitalism-imperialism, and a concrete vision and strategy for bringing a whole better, and radically different, system into being.
Here are three key things that you can do as part of the National Campaign to Get @BobAvakianOfficial Everywhere:
- Spread these posters—by yourself, with a friend or two, or with a whole crew, get them up on campuses, in the neighborhoods, at workplaces… distribute them at political protests and cultural events.
- Get people you meet to pull out their phones on the spot and follow @BobAvakianOfficial on social media, and especially on YouTube, Substack or Telegram where his full audio messages are posted. Mass distribute pamphlets from The Bob Avakian Institute featuring key collections of BA’s social media messages on Trump/MAGA fascism. If you don't have these in bulk, you can order them from TheBobAvakianInstitute.org.
- Donate… and get others to donate, so that @BobAvakianOfficial can reach many more through online advertising and on-the-ground efforts.
To amplify our on-the-ground efforts and project them on social media, send pictures and videos of your work—whether it’s postering and “battling for the walls,” flyering and talking to people everywhere, working together on fundraising projects, or recording statements from people who you bring Bob Avakian’s messages to.
Write to us (info@BobAvakianOfficialEverywhere.org) with your creative ideas and plans on reaching widely with the Campaign.
Taking the Bob Avakian Everywhere campaign to the Hollywood Bowl September 15, at the Neil Young concert.

Neil Young concert, Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles @revcomcorps_la
Over the summer a team has distributed 4000 Bob Avakian's Trump/MAGA fascism pamphlets at the Hollywood Bowl, at a range of musical events and concerts. The team has raised $2500 to pay for printing the BA pamphlets during these outings. This was a particularly animated crowd at Neil Young that night, and more people took photos of the 8 foot banner than ever. The banner features the title of #133 of the BA social media messages, and the well-placed QR code you see in the photo takes all photo-takers to @BobAvakianOfficial substack.
Because we've been doing this here, and all over the city, we have had people say they've been seeing us "all over." And here, it matters to "find our audience," with a broad vision -- not just reaching out to people you think would be "more political." That's always wrong but especially now with these intense and fast moving events, we need to reach widely.
