Check It Out: Betrayal at Attica
From a reader
| revcom.us
HBO Max is now streaming a new documentary, Betrayal at Attica, which chronicles the vicious murders of the prisoners and hostages at the Attica Prison in New York on September 13, 1971. As we approach the 50th anniversary of this brutal attack on unarmed prisoners, this documentary as told by Liz Fink, the lead attorney in the federal civil rights case for the Attica Brothers, exposes the brutality of the massacre and the State of New York’s cover-up of the righteous Attica Rebellion. (See American Crime Case #81: September 13, 1971—Massacre of Heroic Attica Prisoners.) I don’t want to divulge the ending; however, it is worth noting that the documentary links this 1971 massacre and brutal treatment of the Black Attica prisoners with the recent police murders of Black people. The trailer of the documentary can be seen here.

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.
