How You Can Spread the Cornel West Interview with Bob Avakian Far and Wide

December 16, 2012 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us

 

The impact of Cornel West’s interview with Bob Avakian, a concentrated 30-minute introduction to BA, needs to be multiplied thousands of times. As part of the holiday plans already in process, and at the center of those: now is the time to get this interview out all over the place—and raise money to project BA Everywhere throughout society at every turn! Here are some ideas to take up:

  • ORGANIZE listening sessions among your family and friends, co-workers and others. After you have engaged with this leader, help to spread the campaign further. And raise money and distribute palm cards with the BAsics quote of the month as you do. You can be part of this effort wherever you are—and whether you are familiar with BA’s vision and work or are just beginning to learn about this. Spreading the BA quotes through getting out stacks of palm cards (as well as putting up Revolution posters and via the Internet and social media) can make a real difference.
  • PLAY AND DISCUSS the interview wherever you go: on campuses, in coffee houses, laundromats, barber and beauty shops, school cafeterias and dorms—and more.
  • GET independent and college radio stations to rebroadcast the West interview with BA, with attribution to the PRI Smiley &West Show. It is available for download at revcom.us and smileyandwest.com. Permission has been given by the original radio show for it to be picked up and broadcast all over.
  • SEND it out to your e-lists.
  • POST links to the interview on blogs, Twitter, and other social media to extend the reach and impact of the interview.
  • SEND YOUR IDEAS—for many more ways for this interview to reach throughout society and maximize impact—to Revolution newspaper and the BA Everywhere campaign. And send in reports about the buzz being generated by this interview: the discussion and controversy it is touching off and what people are asking about. Write to revolution.reports@yahoo.com and baeverywhere@gmail.com.
