Turning Heads in an Arts District on a Saturday Afternoon

Members of the National Tour to Get Organized for an ACTUAL Revolution went out to stir the air on a sunny weekend in an arts district. A few of us wore bloody pants to symbolize what happens when abortion is illegal. We got people’s attention and spoke to people briefly with the sharp challenge: As the Supreme Court moves to rip up away abortion rights… if you will NOT fight against forced motherhood, then you ARE choosing the enslavement of women.

Stickers got up everywhere... hangers were hung all through downtown.

Some were stubbornly refusing to engage, and even defending their inactivity with the delusion and immorality that “it won’t affect us in California.” Others appreciated the challenge that “it’s not enough to be pro-choice, if you don’t get in the streets now, you are complicit” and glad to be given a vehicle to act. Some applauded, gave donations and got materials to spread. A group of skater kids loved the stickers and were part of getting them up everywhere. There was good debate among them about why women needed the right to abortion on demand, and without apology.

Afterwards, we got a couple messages on Instagram from people who’d seen the materials and want to spread the word... and this appeared on a reddit forum:

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!
