The Summer 2022 fund drive for revcom.us must raise $20,000 by mid-August to sustain this unique website. This is the website where people connect with the revolution, and the revolutionary thinker and leader Bob Avakian (BA). This fund drive takes place in a very rare time when revolution is (more) possible. And as we write you, this is a moment when a series of very vicious and slanderous attacks on BA have appeared in a range of publications (see Behind the Week of Internet Attacks on Bob Avakian and the Revcoms: Imperialist Fear Mongers and Their Servants). Those attacks are being answered at revcom.us and on The Revolution Nothing Less YouTube show; those refutations need to reach everyone who wants to know: what is this revolution all about.

The Revcom’s document Organizing for an Actual Revolution: 7 Key Points lays out why a revolution is needed, why these times pose not only acute danger but the possibility of making such a revolution, and what must urgently be done to build the movement of millions to make that revolution. That document puts it this way: |
|
 | | The crisis and deep divisions in society can only be resolved through radical means, of one kind or another—either radically reactionary, murderously oppressive and destructive means, or radically emancipating revolutionary means. And this resolution could quite possibly happen, one way or the other, within the next few years. This rare situation, with the deepening and sharpening conflicts among the ruling powers, and in the society overall, provides a stronger basis and greater openings to break the hold of this system over masses of people. In a situation like this, things that have basically remained the same, for decades, can radically change in a very short period of time. |

The past weeks, months, and days have provided a glimpse of that. With the shockwaves set off by the reversal of Roe v. Wade (including protests that we have covered at revcom.us, but also even deeper and wider outrage), we’ve seen how what seemed improbable or even impossible yesterday can suddenly become a very palpable possibility. With multiple intensifying crises, with the increasing aggression of the fascists… how many more such jolts are in store? And even the spate of vicious attacks on Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights, the revcoms, and BA are a “sign of the times,” that the question of living with this system or making revolution is coming onto the stage.
At a moment like this, your donation to the revcom.us summer fund drive enables us to be there for the thousands, and millions, who are beginning to question whether this system is really all there is. And, to connect people with a whole other way the world could be and how to get there; with the revolution and with its leader. In short, your donation now can make a world of difference.
$4,798 raised so far - $15,202 to go. Dig deep, donate generously.
