Protesters Against Genocide in Gaza Disrupt Easter Mass at St. Patrick’s

New York City, March 30—St. Patrick’s Cathedral is among the most well-known institutions of Catholicism in the U.S. On Saturday night, shortly after the cathedral’s head, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, began Easter Mass, three protesters went in front of the altar with a large banner saying “Silence = Death” to interrupt the mass with their defiant action. They were demanding that “all faith leaders take immediate and vocal action against genocide and ecocide.” Extinction Rebellion New York said in an Instagram post about the protest addressed to “Beloved Community” (read their whole statement here), “With thirty thousand dead in Gaza and all life on earth threatened by the climate crisis, every individual and every institution that values justice, peace, and love has a duty to oppose genocide and ecocide in a way that can be clearly seen and heard by all. This is especially true of those institutions that have a history of responsibility in the centuries of colonial occupation and exploitation of poorer nations that preceded this disaster.” 

More such righteous protests are urgently needed.

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!
