Plus, Trump Attacks Disabled Migrants Rafael Kadaris, of Revolution Books, Berkeley, on the Fascist Threats to Attack the Bookstore on September 1 From Revolution Books, Berkeley: In the last couple years, a bunch of vile know-nothing pro-Trump fascists have repeatedly attacked Revolution Books and even threatened to burn it down! Once again this Sunday, Sept. 1, they’re marching on Revolution Books. The call for their “No to Marxism” protest says, “Revolution Books is a communist anti-American store.” Guilty as charged!  Rafael Kadaris will talk about the threats and the response of Revolution Books and others to these fascists. Trump's new immigration"public charge" rules -- their impact on the disabled, and their roots in the system of slavery On August 14, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published its final public charge rule. This policy would allow the U.S. government to deny permanent residency and visas to people who rely on or who are “likely to rely on” public benefits for food, housing and medical assistance. We'll discuss the impacts and the roots of these policies with Talila A. Lewis, a community lawyer and consultant.

On To the $50,000 Goal by August 31st! Turning Minds Toward Revolution Raising Funds for the Revolution Tour Updated August 25, 2019 | revcom.us Fundraising for the National Get Organized for an ACTUAL Revolution Tour is at a critical juncture. Significant amounts of money are needed—at least $50,000 by the end of August, and much more past that—for this Tour to continue its work through the end of the year and beyond, and to spread the seeds of actual, overthrow-the-system revolution nationwide. The August 25 Facebook Live was an important focal point—a major leap was made toward that $50,000 goal.   The stakes are enormous, the time is short. The political landscape sharpens and grows more dangerous daily. This Tour brings people what they need, not the Bourgeois Electoral Bullshit droning constantly in the media, or the narrow identity politics that is, at bottom, just another form of “me first.” It brings them a movement for actual revolution. It introduces them to a leader, Bob Avakian, who has broken open a path for revolution that can lead to the emancipation of humanity, and can have a real chance at winning.
