BA Everywhere—A Call for Proposals
February 3, 2014 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us
Last week Revolution issued a call for the BA Everywhere Campaign to go forward in 2014 and make big advances as the leading edge of the whole ensemble of work to prepare minds and organize forces for revolution.
We called for reaching into the deepest aspirations of the people who have been cast aside by this system, as well as students, professionals, and progressive wealthy strata—bringing to and struggling with them to generously donate to make BA, and the vision and framework for a radically new society and the road to get there, known throughout society.
At the same time we called on people to think and talk about the BA Everywhere Campaign over the past two years to learn from what has been accomplished and what is still to be done. The story of the Harlem-Bronx BA Everywhere team ("A Note of Thanks from BA") working together to meet a holiday goal of $1000 was highlighted as an experience to reflect on. Critically, we posed a few questions to assist in focusing up and unleashing a process of national collective wrangling with what it will it take, and what the campaign should look like in 2014 to advance the goals and the potential of BA Everywhere to raise the large funds so that BA becomes a household word. We asked people to write up this thinking and send it in to revolution.reports@yahoo.com.
We also wrote that we would be sharing some of our thinking and plans for 2014 in this issue. However, we want to give a bit more time for people to send in your proposals. Check this web site because we will soon post some framework and plans for the year.
To those who are reading about the BA Everywhere Campaign for the first time, and to assist all who have been working on BA Everywhere in their percolation and proposals, we will close with what we wrote last week:
We want to get a deep and lively process going with everyone pitching in so that in 2014, BA Everywhere boldly projects and advances its overall mission as a national fundraising campaign to raise really massive sums of money, involving growing numbers of people, so that BA becomes a household word, so that the vision and framework of the new synthesis of communism is known throughout the country, even reaching around the world. So that when people confront the horrors of this society, they weigh this brutal reality up against what BA, and the movement and Party he leads, say: that humanity doesn't have to live this way. So that when people feel revolted by the vicious "me first" putrid culture where everyone and every relationship is turned into a vicious game of who wins and who loses, they think of BA—as the leader who represents a future that is the opposite of all the crap of today—where humanity could get beyond the current dog-eat-dog setup to a world where people would consciously and cooperatively work in the common interest—a world fit for humanity.
