June 1: Had ENOUGH? You are needed

From the National Revolution Tour:

Hi Friends,

Want to know why others are stepping into the revolution – and how you can too?

Monisha joined the revolution because she is “sick of the five stops – the genocidal persecution, the patriarchal degradation, wars of empire, the demonization, criminalization, and deportation of immigrants... also, stop capitalism-imperialism from destroying our planet!”

Sabina joined the revolution because she “kept on thinking things would change... but nothing has changed because this country is still the same. It's based on white supremacy, genocide, and enslavement of people. Enough is enough is enough is ENOUGH!”

Chantelle joined the revolution because: “I was confronted with more of the same... or something radically different. And Revolution – Nothing Less can save the planet, save women, save all of humanity. We need revolution and I want you to put the shirt on, too.”

Will you join Monisha, Sabina, Chantelle and many more in saying:
ENOUGH! BASTA YA!
We Need an Actual Revolution!
A Better World IS Possible!

Come to a mass organizing meeting this Saturday, June 1 at 3pm.
2716 South Vermont Avenue #8 (upstairs)

No experience necessary. All you need is a refusal to go along another day with the madness and horror this system inflicts on our people here and all around the world.

Together, this Saturday we will make big plans to let all of Los Angeles know that the REVOLUTION is stepping out June 8 & 9th in a major way. On Saturday, June 8th, we will march through the streets of South Central, manifesting a liberating revolutionary authority right up against the illegitimate “authority” of the notoriously brutal 77th precinct of the LAPD and the whole system it is part of. Saturday evening, we will celebrate and live the future we are fighting for. Sunday, we will roll up our sleeves for workshops and training to make this revolution real. (full details below)

Your involvement is needed. Your ideas, your creativity, your time, your determination, and your willingness to join with others to fight for a whole new world.
Please reply to let us know if we can count on you to join us this Saturday at 3pm at
2716 S Vermont Ave #8, Los Angeles, CA.

On behalf of the Revolution Tour,
Pete Ha
 
Saturday afternoon, we will gather at Slauson and Crenshaw, where the rapper Nipsey Hussle was tragically cut down—one more victim of the way this system has oppressed people killing each other instead of aiming their anger at the source of this madness…
We will go to Florence & Normandie, where people rose up in the righteous LA Rebellion in 1992, giving a glimpse of their potential to create history...
We will finish up with a powerful political manifestation at the notorious 77th precinct of the LAPD, the pigpen headquarters of police brutality and murder—a hated symbol of what this system does to people and part of its worldwide machinery of repression...
Saturday night, we will celebrate with others in a way that livesand manifests the future we are fighting to bring into being, in line with the Points of Attention of the Revolution.
Sunday, we will get down on how to bring forward and organize thousands in this next year to prepare the millions we need for the time when we can actually make revolution with a real possibility of winning.

This week:

The National Revolution Tour: Basta Ya! Revolution—Nothing Less!

We'll open the show with Noche Diaz from The Get Organized for an Actual Revolution Tour about big plans for the weekend of June 8 and 9 (See video below). The basic theme and sentiment is Enough! Basta Ya! We Need an Actual Revolution—A Better World IS Possible! 
This is for those who feel Basta Ya!, who have just “had it” with what the system does… to Black and Brown people… to women and differently gendered people… to immigrants… to people around the world in its vicious wars… to the environment.
All of this is completely unnecessary, a radically different and far better world is possible… through Revolution—Nothing Less!
This, Revolution—Nothing Less!, is the message to the world, and we are organizing the thousands now, through revolutionary struggle and accumulating forces, hastening the time when it will be possible for millions to go all out for revolution and win. This message must reverberate across Los Angeles and inspire people nationwide.
This weekend is for ALL those who hate what this system does to people here and around the world, joining with others who feel like this—defiant, and looking for a whole different way the world could be.

Jason Stanley and How Fascism Works

For this week's Fund Drive show, we'll be hearing a recent interview I did with Jason Stanley, about his book How Fascism Works.

Fascist politics are running rampant in the United States today—and spreading around the world. Jason Stanley identifies the ten pillars of fascist politics and charts their horrifying rise and deep history. The discussion will explore these issues and the implications for how we act today.

By placing Trump in transnational and transhistorical perspective, Stanley sees patterns that others miss.... By calling Trump a ‘fascist’—a word that strikes many Americans as alien and extreme — Stanley is trying to spark public alarm. He doesn’t want Americans to respond to Trump’s racist, authoritarian offensives by moving their moral goal posts. The greater danger, he suggests, isn’t hyperbole, it’s normalization. And twenty months into Trump’s presidency, the evidence is mounting that he’s right.” —The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice)

Jason Stanley teaches at Yale University. He is the author of five books, including How Propaganda Works, and writes about free speech, mass incarceration and authoritarianism for The New York Times and other publications.

An Interview with Legendary Trombonist-Composer-Arranger Phil Ranelin

We'll talk with jazz trombonist Phil Ranelin. Phil Ranelin is loved and respected around the globe as a die-hard straight ahead trombonist. This Sunday, May 26th at 8 p.m., the former Freddie Hubbard Sideman and Tribe Records Co-founder kicks off his year-long international 80th birthday tour at Zebulon Café.

 


Sunsara Taylor:

Will Women Be Regarded as Human Beings or Incubators? Your Response to the Fascist Assault on Abortion May Well Determine the Answer


Sunsara Taylor wrote at revcom.us: "A vicious wave of extreme anti-abortion legislation is being hammered into law across the country. Alabama’s new law bans all abortions—even in cases of rape and incest. Doctors who provide abortions could be sent to prison for life. Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, Indiana, Arkansas, and Utah have also passed bans—many at stages in pregnancy before most women even know they are pregnant. (See this article for details on these laws.)

"People need to fiercely protest, struggle against, and truly fight to defeat these monstrous measures that represent a misogynistic assault on the people! People must fight for Abortion on Demand and Without Apology!"
We'll talk with Sunsara Taylor about this emergency situation. She is a writer for revcom.us/Revolution newspaper, and is part of the Get Organized for an Actual Revolution Tour.
