Break ALL the Chains! Celebrations
Photos, Videos and Testimonials from Cultural Celebrations… Dinners… Picnics Across the Country, Hosted by BA Everywhere
Updated August 25, 2014 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us
The BA Everywhere Campaign hosted "Break ALL the Chains" celebrations around the country to mark the publication of Break ALL the Chains! Bob Avakian on the Emancipation of Women and the Communist Revolution. These celebrations of artistic performances, testimonies, and deep revolutionary substance and feeling were fueled by people's response to BAsics 3:22 (read BA's full quote in the book BAsics from the talks and writings of Bob Avakian). People came together, building community through being part of a dinner, or picnic, or BBQ in different cities. The celebrations raised funds and marked a midpoint in the summer 2014 BA Everywhere campaign to raise big money to make it possible for people across the country to come to know of BA and the new synthesis of communism that he has brought forward—which is a deeper, more scientific understanding of the methods, the goals, the strategy and plan for making revolution and creating a new society.
