Double your donation! $1,500 Matching Challenge in Effect

 

REVOLUTION BOOKS LOS ANGELES $1,500 matching challenge in effect now! Your donation is doubled. A group of readers has put together a matching pledge of $1,500 for people donating to the revcom.us summer fund drive. That fund drive needs to raise $20,000 by mid-August to sustain and expand the website revcom.us. So far, generous donors large and small, have gotten us two-thirds of the way there. This matching pledge means your donation to revcom.us, however large or small, will be doubled until that pledge is matched. So, donate now. Why a group of us pledge to match all donations to the revcom.us summer fund drive up to $1,500. Dear revcom.us summer fund drive team, Some of us have been talking among ourselves about what a hellish future this system has for the young generation, if there is a future at all. This is not something anyone with a heart should find acceptable. That is captured in this quote from BAsics, the handbook for the revolution, quotes from Bob Avakian (BA):   “No more generations of our youth, here and all around the world, whose life is over, whose fate has been sealed, who have been condemned to an early death or a life of misery and brutality, whom the system has destined for oppression and oblivion even before they are born. I say no more of that. ” (BAsics 1:13). What BA is calling out has never been more true. Look around! From the children slaving in the mines of Democratic Republic of Congo for minerals for cell phones; to the girls and young women driven into the global supply chain of prostitution; to the desperate youth in the barrios, favelas, slums, and ghettos in the midst of or surrounding all the “great cities” of the world. And, as BA has pointed out again recently in An Open Letter to Theoretical Physicist Lee Smolin, “in the period of slightly more than 75 years since the end of World War 2, because of the way the world is dominated by the system of capitalism-imperialism, at least 350 million children in the Third World have needlessly died because of starvation and preventable disease!” Let us emphasize: needlessly. There are two problems we have to solve. One is that this system is hellish enough now and heading for much worse. The other is that those who are suffering and outraged do not know that there is a way out through revolution, the new communism, and the leadership of Bob Avakian, and are not connected with that. The younger generation needs to know that a better world is actually possible, but only through revolution. Whether they know it or not, they are waiting for the revolutionary leadership of Bob Avakian to connect with and unchain them. When they open their eyes, as events are forcing them to do, they need to find that leadership, through The RNL Show on YouTube and through this website, revcom.us. Your support for revcom.us helps make that possible. So, join us. Contribute to the revcom.us summer fund drive while our match is in effect, and we will match your donation.  Seize this rare time when the workings of this system have created conditions where revolution could be much more possible. And seize this moment to double the impact of your donation to revcom.us with a matching grant in place.   Donate today At a rare moment like this, your donation to the summer fund drive enables revcom.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, Bob Avakian. In short, your donation now can make a world of difference.
