Narges Mohammadi, our fellow prisoner, friend, comrade, and sister, has won the Nobel Peace Prize. 

On hearing this news, we the sisters of Narges, who have witnessed her years of dedicated struggle and perseverance on the path of freedom and equality, are filled with pride and overflowing joy! 

Congratulations to Narges, her family, Ali and Kiana—and congratulations to all of us! While no single award can encompass the full political and social impact of Narges—nor that of any other fighter for the path of freedom and equality—receiving this Nobel Peace Prize acknowledges the value of Narges’ years of activism to advance the cause of freedom and equality, broadcasting the voices of the Iranian people to the world and shining light on their struggles for justice and human rights.

Narges, who has selflessly put every effort into exposing the systematic violation of human rights in Iran, now shoulders a very heavy responsibility—a responsibility to not only defend human rights today, but to advance the path of change in Iranian society that can bring that about.

Throughout history, the shining color of prizes and medals has come from being awarded to activists and fighters against oppression and discrimination. Today, on the first year anniversary of Jina (Mahsa Amini) movement, we take pride in our sister and fellow fighter, Narges, who infuses the Nobel Peace Prize with color. The red of the blood that has been spilled in the struggle for justice, and the pain of grieving mothers is etched into the medal for the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize.

Long Live Solidarity for Freedom and Equality!

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!

So what should you give to make 2024 our year—a year of revolution? 
Everything you possibly can! 
DONATE NOW to revcom.us and get with BA and the revcoms!    

Your donations contribute to:

  • Promotion of BA on social media and the Bob Avakian Interviews on The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show 
  • Strengthen revcom.us as an accessible, secure, robust website able to rise to the challenge of meeting the extraordinary demands of navigating the storms and preparing for revolution in this pivotal, unprecedented year
  • Fund revcoms to travel to national “hotspots,” where extreme contradictions are pulling apart the fabric of this country and creating the possibility of wrenching an actual revolution out of this intensifying situation
  • Expand the reach and coverage of revcom.us
  • Printing and distribution of key Revcom materials including the Declaration and Proclamation
