Celebration of International Women's Day 2023 at RevBooks in Harlem - Saturday, March 11, 3pm
Saturday, March 11, 3pm

Unleash the Fury of Women as a Mighty Force for Revolution

Come be part of International Women's Day. 

We need a Revolution – Nothing Less

to free women from centuries of oppression as part of freeing humanity from all forms of oppression.

If you are infuriated by the Supreme Court overturning the right
to abortion...
If you are inspired by the women of Iran and Latin America rising
up for women to be free...
If you have ever wondered if women could be liberated from a
world of exploitation, male supremacy and all forms of gender
oppression...

* * *
We Don’t Have to Live This Way—When We Have a
Chance for Something Much Better!


Imagine women/people from Iran come and read out statements or
poetry written about or by those who are rebelling and are held within
the prison walls.

Imagine musicians playing music that soars with the hopes and
aspirations of half of humanity rising to throw off these chains and
bring a whole different world into being.

Imagine testimony from high school youth right here in NYC who are
refusing to accept being treated as less than full human beings.

Imagine women from Colombia, Mexico and Dominican Republic
giving voice to the struggles they waged, and some have won, in the
streets over abortion and exposing the epidemic of femicide.

Imagine people together watching video clips of Bob Avakian, the
leader of the revolution, on how the struggle for the liberation of
women is pivotal to the emancipation of all humanity and a central
dynamic for a total revolution.

Imagine the word and visions of IWD celebrations in the US
spreading to our sisters and brothers around the world.

Carl will get into:

Support the Revolution Books Fund Drive to Raise $5000 by March 31st
Friday, March 3, 2023, 12 noon to Saturday, April 1st, 12 a.m. 20223

JOIN the fund drive to support Revolution Books: a center of a movement for revolution. We put the whole world first – not USA #1! We carry a wide range of poetry, fiction, analysis, exposure, art, science, revolutionary theory and more from many angles and perspectives. This is a place where people are honestly debating, arguing, digging into the reality we face, what is the root of it and what is the solution – why we must move beyond capitalism, why a real revolution is necessary, and what is its goal. Why poetry, music, science, awe and wonder at nature and art are essential to life and revolution. All this flows from the new communism developed by the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian, which is the core of our store.

We confront an agonizing and dangerous world: one hundred million refugees in the world right now; women slammed back in country after country – also in places rise in waves that shake old orders; the U.S. and Russia escalate a bloody proxy war over Ukraine that could lead to nuclear war; the environmental crisis accelerates; the rulers of the U.S. locked in bitter divisions, with the Republicans intent on imposing full-out fascism.

Jolts shake society, one after the other. Talk of civil war is increasingly in the air.  In this situation, a movement for revolution - that fosters critical thinking, brings forward an ethos of broadness of mind and generosity of spirit, and shines a light on why capitalism itself is the problem, and why we have to overthrow it - can change the world.  
Revolution Books is one center of that movement. Join us in raising $5,000 to help put revolution, and Revolution Books, on the map!


$5,000 By March 31—Donate Generously! or become a monthly Patreon.

Spread the Word!

"We can no longer afford to allow these imperialists to dominate the world and to determine the destiny of humanity. They need to be overthrown as quickly as possible." —Bob Avakian, The Bob Avakian Interviews
