“Hands off Rafah! Ceasefire now! Stop the genocide!”

With Israel threatening to invade Rafah, people around the world held protests and marches demanding “Hands off Rafah! Ceasefire now! Stop the genocide!” All across the US, in scores and scores of cities large and small, people took to the streets to express their outrage and anger at Israel's hideous, US-backed genocide of the Palestinian people. 

New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago saw thousands pour out, many for the first time. In D.C. and many other cities, marches converged on Israeli consulates.

Protests were seen in cities around the world: from Caracas, Venezuela, to Tunis, Tunisia; from Tokyo, Japan to Oslo, Norway, to Perth, Australia. In London, the protests took place one day after the British Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, issued a threatening statement declaring “democracy was being targeted by extremists” and calling on the police to come down on the pro-Palestinian demonstration the next day.

This is important, needs to be built on and spread!

“From Palestine to the USA, revolution is the way!”

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!
