WHY SHOULD YOU SUSTAIN THE REVCOMS?
A statement from a new sustainer:
Greetings precious people. I'm a Black, retired ex steelworker who donated $50.00 to this historically important $100,000 fund drive in support of Bob Avakian and the revcoms last month. A month has passed and I've gotten another S.S. check and I'm going to contribute another $50, to the drive this month and I will give as much as I can afford each month for the duration of the drive. I challenge everyone who feels the way I do to also pledge to make monthly donations of what you can. For some it might be $10. For some it might be $100. Or much more.
Why? I look at the grave dangers we face from the maga fascists and from the overall capitalist imperialist set up and then I listen to BA speak about how things don't have to be this way and then he gives a vision of what we need to do RIGHT NOW to have a fighting chance to get beyond this wack system and build a new type of society that we could thrive in. How do I put this? I recall hearing about groups of people in recent years who have gotten almost hopelessly trapped in caves who are trying to live, to find a way out to the fresh air. I could imagine that after searching for hours some would just sit down and say "we're going to die!" Others might keep feeling around in the dark for a way out. Under such circumstances if there was a smart guy with a flashlight saying “Follow me. I think I know the way out of here,” in a split second I'd light my cigarette lighter and say "I'm following that smart guy with the flashlight!" We're getting the hell out of here. I see Bob Avakian in that light. I don't want any of our lost youth with so much potential or middle class and intellectuals to say “Bob Avakian? Never heard of him.” This is a life and death question. One of the most important things going on in the world today (believe it or not) is the struggle to link up tens of thousands leading to millions with that "SMART GUY WITH THE FLASHLIGHT" and the revcoms to understand the world better and fight to change it.
Let's live meaningful lives. Take this drive out to the people. Read your Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America, watch the BA videos and The RNL Show, donate yourself, and lift your heads yourself and join the Revcoms and be makers of good history.

Be a revolutionary lifeline—become a monthly sustainer of the revolution. Giving a regular donation—at any level—is vital for building up the strength and foundation for this revolution. Think about the intensifying days ahead—the need for this revolution to be known, which requires funds, and growing numbers of people to declare their support for the revcoms. Pledge to sustain monthly for at least six months or more—a pivotal time in determining the future for humanity, and whether there will even be a future.
