A Call for Volunteers: Come to Boston, September 23-25

Make a Big Splash About the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America (Draft Proposal)

Revolution Books in Cambridge is calling for volunteers to help to stir up the scene at Harvard on the weekend of September 24-25.

On that weekend, the Conference on the Constitutional Convention is taking place. It is co-sponsored by the Harvard Change Congress and sections of the Tea Party. It is a gathering of self-described "left" and right forces, meeting to discuss whether a special "constitutional convention" is needed to deal with the fact that "our Republic does not work as our Framers intended." That a section of liberal-progressives is seeking common ground with the reactionary Tea Party is not a positive development. But the conference is likely to bring out some progressive forces and students, and attract media attention.

The main thing people at Harvard and those coming out to this conference should be hearing about is the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America (Draft Proposal) from the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA. A new challenge will be put before them: there really is a visionary, viable, and very concrete alternative to this capitalist-imperialist system.

Volunteers are needed to help in different kinds of ways:

This is going to be fun and important…the opening salvo of a big effort this fall to push out with the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic in North America. And other campus events are taking place in the Boston area that weekend.

On Friday night, September 23, we'll be hosting an open house at Revolution Books in Boston-Cambridge to orient people.

To volunteer, get in touch with Revolution Books in Cambridge at revbooks@netzero.net, or leave a message at (617) 492-5443.
