FRIDAY - Fundraising Dinner for Natl Revolution Tour; Plus The Michael Slate Show: Battle around Immigration and Climate Crisis

From the Revolution Club - LA:

You're Invited: 
Welcome Back/Send Off Fundraising Dinner
for the National Revolution Tour

Friday, September 6 @ 5:00 PM 
Revolution Club Organizing Center

2716 S. Vermont Ave #8, Los Angeles, CA 90007

“You Think You’re Woke... But You’re Sleepwalking Through A Nightmare —
This System Cannot Be Reformed, It Must Be Overthrown!”

Come break bread & meet the volunteers from Los Angeles who've spent the past 2 months in Chicago, as part of the National Get Organized for an Actual Revolution Tour. They will be leaving soon for the next leg of the tour in New York City.

At a time when there is a fascist regime in the white house, mass deportations, the unleashing of open white supremacy carrying out massacres against immigrant people, while the environment & the planet itself is being destroyed and when most people in society are more concerned with "me" & "my people", or waiting until 2020, the National Revolution Tour is on the front lines, fighting to end ALL forms of oppression & emancipate ALL of humanity. Fighting to put before society that there is a force, getting organized & preparing for the time when we can go all out for Revolution, with a REAL chance to WIN. Putting before millions that there is a leader named Bob Avakian, who's developed a NEW COMMUNISM, who's developed a strategy to have a real chance to win, and written a Constitution for a new society after the Revolution, and organizing the thousands into this Revolution now.

This Friday, come meet these courageous people, who have put their lives on hold to be a part of this tour, come together with others who have contributed to the Revolution, and who are learning more about this Revolution. Come hang out, break bread with and hear the volunteers' experience in Chicago and contribute to this tour continuing to do the important and necessary work it is doing.

DONATE: Without hype, absent fundamental change, without revolution, the future of humanity and the planet hangs in the balance. This tour cannot be sustained without your contribution. Become a MONTHLY SUSTAINER and make it possible to keep the tour on the move through the rest of the year. People are pouring their money into politicians of the Democratic Party—who are nothing but war criminals or war criminals-in-training, competing to be commander in chief or representatives of this bloody empire. Make a Profound Difference and DONATE to the possibility of something that could get beyond this horror and radically change the whole world.

This week: 

Sasha Abramsky on The Relentless Assaults on Immigrants; Eleanor J. Bader on the 1000+ Sanctuary Churches; Sept 23, Climate Emergency, Shut Down DC

Sasha Abramsky on Why The Trump/Pence Regime Diverted Millions From FEMA to ICE - While Hurricane Dorian Was Approaching.

Sasha Abramsky recently wrote, "This administration is making it abundantly obvious to anyone who hasn’t, somehow, already gotten the message, that it’s all about attacking immigrants, all the time — and it will stop at nothing to get its way on immigration." Sasha Abramsky is a freelance journalist and a part-time lecturer at the University of California at Davis.

Over 1,100 Congregations Have Agreed to Provide Sanctuary to Migrants
 Eleanor J. Bader, writer and teacher at Kingsborough Community College, joins us to talk about the growing movement of faith activists resisting the Trump/Pence regime's assaults on immigrants. She noted that, as the attacks on migrants has escalated, "entire denominations and individual congregations — Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim and Quaker — have been mobilizing to support immigrants in a variety of ways, from protesting at the border and at local ICE offices, to visiting detention camps in witness to the atrocities unfolding there, to offering physical sanctuary and protection to those at risk of deportation."

#ShutDownDC - Global Climate Strike Week of Action September 20 - 27, Shut Down DC September 23
A coalition of organizations announced: Youth leaders from around the world have called for a climate strike and global week of action from September 20th-27th. They have been taking the lead so far, but now they are calling on all of us to take action. In Washington, DC we will be answering the call and building on the momentum of the youth climate strikes in a major way. On September 23rd, we are going to shut down DC.

We'll hear more about what is being planned and why from Collin Rees, a campaigner with Oil Change U.S.
