Spreading Revolution Off the June 20 Webathon

On June 20, the campaign to put revolution on the map raised $10,000.  What those funds made happen:

Detroit: A billboard high over inbound I-75, and also right in sight of thousands of commuters leaving Detroit announced the Revolution Talk by Bob Avakian.  As thousands of participants in the US Social Forum poured into the city, they got copies of The Revolution We Need - The Leadership We Have; they had a chance to hear deep and varied presentations from Revolution newspaper correspondents, learn that the revolution is real, and join Carl Dix and others who were standing with the people in the wake of the police execution of 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones.

Arizona Freedom Summer: "We don't have an immigration problem.  We have a capitalist problem!"  Their call says, "Come join us in Arizona. This is a summer of resistance and revolution. Come with a spirit of defiance and a determination to stop the ugly white supremacy and repression being put into law and unleashed on immigrants and anyone that "looks illegal!"  SB 1070, the fascist anti-immigrant law, goes into effect in Arizona on Thursday July 29.  Carloads are going to join the protests now, and to spread Revolution with them.  See Reporter’s notebook from Arizona Freedom Summer
