Meeting with Community College Students:
“We Are Not, and I Am Not, Going to Be the Generation
That Did Not Act to Drive Out This Regime!”
| revcom.us
From a member of a Revolution Club:
When A. and I went to a community college in Southern California, we met with about 15 students that are in a group whose members are mainly immigrant, undocumented students. I’ll say it again—we do need to be reaching by phone people who sign up with Refuse Fascism. This is one of the people we reached, L., who heads this group. We had half an hour. We showed the 4 minute trailer of the film of Bob Avakian’s talk; THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME MUST GO! In The Name of Humanity, We REFUSE To Accept a Fascist America: A Better World IS Possible. We made specific points on what’s planned. The students were like taken aback and really considering, but a bit quiet, except that L. led a thing saying we are not, and she is not, going to be the generation that didn’t act to drive out the fascist Trump/Pence regime.
Then, we went outside together with the 50-foot banner, and that unleashed the students! They were signing the banner, dancing, taking pictures of each other and of the whole group, the lid got taken off (these are undocumented students in the main) for a bit. You can see one video image of the group chanting “Trump/Pence Out Now!” and “October 19 Out Now” that I hope we are using. The group got posters to put up all over school, Calls to Action, and then at the end some got HOW WE CAN WIN—How We Can Really Make Revolution from me. When we were outside with the banner, school police came—they were intimidating but not in position to try to shut it down. L. thought this was outrageous.
Now More Than Ever!

Together, WE passed $40,000 in revcom's Winter fundraising campaign to “Transform Revcom.us’ Web Technology and Presence”!
Reaching this goal is a real achievement and a victory for the people of the world, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated efforts of many people working creatively and collectively to meet this pressing need: those who donated whether large or small contributions, who fundraised, who spread the campaign, who sent statements, who raised comments, questions, criticisms or suggestions – and of course those who worked so hard on modernizing and upgrading our web technology and presence. It all made a difference!
The Ongoing Need for Sustainers
During this four month fund drive, Revcom.us continued to incur thousands of dollars of costs each month for our office, maintaining our existing site and other expenses. But thanks to our existing monthly sustainers we were able to meet these expenses and use all the funds raised in the drive to transform the website.
So we encourage all our donors and those who’ve not yet donated to become monthly sustainers at whatever level you can afford.
Remember, humanity’s fate truly hinges on millions taking up the revolutionary science, strategy, and new communism brought forward by Bob Avakian which they can find at revcom.us.
You’ve read this article and now you need to be part of making sure revcom.us is able to make an urgently needed leap and transformation.
