The BAsics Bus Tour is getting ready to hit the road in the South.
Next week volunteers from Los Angeles to New York will stream into Atlanta. They will be traveling there on the money donated for this tour all across
the country. Some will be taking greetings that were created and signed in the communities they're coming in from. They'll be representing something
much bigger than themselves. As one volunteer put it: "This is a great opportunity to expand and widen the movement for revolution, as well as to let
many more people know about BA [Bob Avakian] and the revolution...the fact that this vision was brought to them and that they know that there are people
who really WANT TO DEDICATE THEIR LIVES to change the world, that already makes a difference in the political atmosphere of the country."
Go all out this week - call everyone you know, talk with them about contributing, talk with them about ways they can
help and ask for a statement of support... get word of this out on the Net... talk with all those you know who live in this region who can help in different
ways-with financial contributions, food, housing, other forms of support. Talk with someone at Revolution Books about your ideas or write to baeverywhere@gmail.com.
This will not happen without you - without your hopes, your aspirations, your support, your energy and creativity riding on this BAsics Bus Tour, being a part of making it happen.

One special goal that you can be part of is raising funds for THIS week:
20,000 palm cards distributed with the quote from Bob Avakian, BAsics 1:13:
"No more generations of our youth, here and all around the world, whose life is over, whose fate has been sealed,
who have been condemned to an early death or a life of misery and brutality, whom the system has destined for oppression
and oblivion even before they are born. I say no more of that." BAsics: 5:5

In late September, Revolution Books participated in taking out the Constitution for the New Socialist Republic of North America (Draft Proposal)
from the RCP at the Conference on a Constitutional Convention held at Harvard, co-sponsored by the Law School and the Tea Party Patriots.
BAsics is a book of quotations and short essays from Bob Avakian. Take a look at the Table of Contents and think about the great need for this book to get out broadly in society...
The event on April 11, on the occasion of the release of BAsics, brought together artists, intellectuals, people from the community and the youth from different perspectives and different strata in a major celebration whose impact could go far beyond the walls of Harlem Stage in New York City.
