The work BA has done creates new possibility at an excruciating time for humanity—nothing less than an opening for a visionary and viable future.. The biggest immediate problem right now is that all this is basically not known. It's not on the scene in the way it needs to be—engaged and discussed, popularized and debated. And to solve that problem, there is, right now, a major fundraising campaign to make Avakian's work and leadership known in every corner of society.
If you are seriously concerned about the direction that this capitalist world is heading... if you look for real at current political institutions and processes that offer no fundamental answers to all the misery in the world… you need to check out and engage BA. And, you can contribute to making this known.

From a member of a family who made a group donation of $100 to
BA Everywhere recently:
"My brother was a revolutionary in Iran during the vicious rule of the US-backed Shah. After the revolution, under the Khomeni regime, he continued his revolutionary work. He was arrested, held for two months, tortured, and finally executed. He would have been 58 years old if he had lived. My family members have each pitched in funds, and together we are donating $100 to the BA Everywhere "1000 years – $1000" campaign, so his life can count for the emancipation of humanity."

I'm also extending a challenge to everyone who hates and wants to eliminate the many outrages that unceasingly flow from the capitalist-imperialist system - or anyone who hates to see injustice go unchallenged - to match not just the amount I'm raising, but all that will be given by prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their loved ones.

Donation to the BA Everywhere Campaign
I recently donated $100 to send BAsics, from the talks and writings of Bob Avakian to prisoners, and I ask others to consider donating as well to the BA Everywhere Campaign. The need is enormous, and the time is short.
“Fearless”—a Black college student describing what he thought of Bob Avakian’s talk Revolution—Nothing Less!
"...when I saw it, it changed the way I looked at everything... it made me want to challenge all that and not go along with any of it." —A young Latina from LA
The following are voices of people at a homeless shelter in a midwestern city where there have been screenings of BA Speaks:
REVOLUTION—NOTHING LESS! Bob Avakian Live for the last few months.
"It is not just a Black thing. This revolution is a world thing. People of color are targeted more but it is the world. It is a global thing and something has got to be done. We are already in a world of shit."
—From a Black man after thinking about what he saw in the film
“Is he an atheist? You gonna need god to do what he is saying to do. And I am for the anti-police brutality movement.” —One man was laughing after seeing part of RNL and as he made this comment
"I want to initiate some of the things Bob Avakian talks about--I know others who would like this." —Another Black man

The dynamic of coming together in this campaign [BA Everywhere] with people across the country through the pages of Revolution newspaper has been important and we are learning from and inspiring each other.
"I think what they are doing is very inspiring because this society looks down on people from the neighborhoods and tell you they are not capable of leading but they actually are capable of that and much more. These are the kinds of things people should be doing... raising funds and coming together to learn why its such a big deal that they are involved in this campaign. And it inspires people that read their story to want to do the same with their friends and neighbors." —Revolution Club member

"Why am I—why is my body of work, and method and approach—important? Because this is bringing forward an advanced understanding, a heightened understanding, of what revolution and communism are all about and how to move toward the objective of revolution and communism, as well as a method for engaging and struggling through the contradictions that are inevitably going to be encountered in that process....
If we are in fact being guided by the scientific
understanding that human society needs to, and can,
advance to communism, that the struggle to achieve this
objective must be the conscious act of masses of people,
on the one hand, while at the same time this must have,
and has no prospect of being realized without,
leadership—leadership that, in relation to this goal,
embodies the most advanced understanding and
methodology..."

"My dear brother Bob Avakian... is the Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party.... He is one of the few coming out of the 60's who never sold out, he never caved in, he never gave up, held on to his forging of a rigorous, scientific analysis of the objective realities that are driven by a revolutionary love – because he has such a deep love for poor people, oppressed people, all around the world. Whether you agree or disagree with our brother, one thing you cannot deny: that he is the real thing. No doubt about it."
Cornel West, introducing his interview with Bob Avakian on the Smiley & West radio show (October 5, 2012)
"In Bob Avakian, the Chairman of our Party, we have the kind of rare and precious leader who does not come along very often. A leader who has given his heart, and all his knowledge, skills and abilities to serving the cause of revolution and the emancipation of humanity. Bob Avakian came alive as a revolutionary in the 1960s..."
