Launching BA Everywhere Summer 2013: Making a Difference, Changing the World!
THANK YOU! $24,606 has been raised to launch BA Everywhere Summer 2013!
July 16, 2013 | BA Everywhere | revcom.us
Thank you to the hundreds who contributed in small and large amounts. Thank you to everyone who got the word out for the campaign -- through phone calls, e-mails and social-media postings. Together we raised the funds to fill a very great need in the world -- spreading the work and vision of Bob Avakian, and connecting people throughout society with the possibility of a radically better world. As people seethe over the not guilty verdict for George Zimmerman, as abortion clinics are shuttered across the country and as the U.S. government stands by its program of total surveillance, people need to know that there is a scientific solution to these horrors. Van Tours have already launched from New York, LA, Chicago and the San Francisco Bay Area spreading the film BA Speaks: Revolution - Nothing Less! Bob Avakian Live and the book BAsics, from the talks and writings of Bob Avakian. Visit revcom.us for regular updates, and follow @BAeverywhere on Twitter to stay connected with the campaign. In a world of turmoil and mass upsurges from Turkey to Brazil to New York to Sanford, Florida, every single donation that came in will go toward opening up debate and discussion in society; so that once again the times will resonate with big dreams of fundamental change and emancipating all of humanity.

Professor Calls on Educators Who "Want to See a Different World" to Match His Donation to "BA Everywhere Summer 2013"
Dear Friends at BA Everywhere:
I am a Professor of Sociology and chose this field in part because I wanted to more deeply understand the world and help others understand the world in order to change it. I know that there are many in the academic community who go into their fields for similar reasons and who can and should be donating to this Indiegogo fund drive.
I am putting up a $500 challenge to other teachers and professors to match my donation.
A Call to Donate: "I felt like clouds were moving aside"
From a young woman volunteering with BA Everywhere
When I first learned of Bob Avakian, I attended a listening and discussion at Revolution Books of the radio interview done by Cornel West in October 2012. There I bought a copy of BAsics, which is always recommended as a good book to begin with and a book everyone should have.
Reading that book began a process of transformation, in the sense that things that were once cloudy or seemed complex and that I didn't have a very clear understanding of, suddenly became very clear....

Summer 2013 BA Everywhere Campaign: Making a Difference
On the weekend of June 1-2, planning conferences for the Summer 2013 BA Everywhere Campaign took place in various cities across the country. The conferences, involving many different people, were a chance to wrestle with how to make a real national impact—to raise the kind of funds that will make it possible to reach millions with Bob Avakian's revolutionary communist vision and works. Check revcom.us and future issues of Revolution for reports about the conferences and the plans coming out of them. The following is the keynote speech for the conferences.
