To Young People Involved in RiseUp4AbortionRights and the Revolution Clubs:

I am writing to (1) share with you my best recent arguments for what is necessary in relation to the abortion rights emergency, and to (2) invite you to share with me your biggest questions about all this, and (3) solicit your ideas on how to take this fight forward.

[1] In episode 94 of The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show, I expose how:

** the assault on abortion rights has accelerated and grown even more vicious in just the last two weeks;

** a recent statement by the president of Planned Parenthood concentrates the unacceptable road of capitulation that is being put forward by all too many so-called “leaders” of the so-called “pro-choice movement” and why we must break with this;

** the approach of RiseUp4AbortionRights.org—mass, society-wide relentless nonviolent struggle in the streets—is the only road that stands a chance at stopping a future of female enslavement. As part of this, I share a powerful interview with Patricia Wallin about the abortion rights emergency in El Salvador and the GREEN WAVE for Abortion Rights in Latin America and with Sam Goldman about the importance of the actions we have planned on April 8th and 9th.

I strongly urge you to watch (and spread) it. I believe it will strengthen your understanding and ability to carry forward this most crucial fight!

[2] Please share with me your biggest questions about this fight! What is keeping you up at night?

If possible, please send a video of you asking your question (or put it in writing). I will be answering as many of these questions as I can on the coming episodes of The RNL—Revolution, Nothing Less!—Show.

Don't get stuck overthinking it.

Do you wonder where this vicious assault is coming from? Why others aren't acting (yet)? Why the so-called “leaders” of the so-called “pro-choice movement” are peddling such give-up-without-a-fight crap? Or, do you want to ask if it is really fair for me to portray it that way? Are you encountering pressure from family or friends about your involvement in this fight that you want help answering? Do you have questions about how the assault on abortion fits into the system of capitalism-imperialism that we live under? Or how this assault relates to the other cruel things the GOP fascist party is doing? As you have taken this movement for abortion rights out to friends and peers, are you running into questions that you need help answering? Do you have questions about the morality of abortion? The role of the church? Why am I a follower of Bob Avakian, the revolutionary leader and author of the new communism, and what does that have to do with why I am playing a key role in leading this fight? Anything else you think would be helpful to know about how I got involved in this fight or anything else I can share?

Take a few minutes now to record yourself and send your video to me at: therevcoms@gmail.com.

[3] Finally, I'd like your ideas on how to take this fight forward.

Are there things you think need to be done that we are not yet doing? Do you have ideas for how we spread the Green Bandanas and build this fight to what it needs to be on April 8th and 9th and going forward to bring millions in the streets bringing all of society to a halt, reaching into every major institution and campus and workplace and beyond? What do you think needs to be done to reach that?

Thanks in advance for your responses!

Warmly,

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
