A few minutes after 10 pm EST the Put Revolution on the Map fund-raiser reached the goal of $12,000 to bring the work of Bob Avakian to more people. Hosts Sunsara Taylor & Annie Day, co-host Will Reese, and Travis Morales brought a lot of substance, some moving stories, and great live energy into the studio, which, combined with pre-recorded material, moved viewers through an overview of why and how the revolution is real.
