Bob Avakian must be hoarse so long and well has he argued for basic human rights in the United States. His latest video summarizes the severity of the Trump/Pence crisis with vigor and a necessary outrage.

Donna Schaper, Senior Minister Judson Memorial Church, New York City

“In posing the question, ‘Which is more important: order or justice?’ Bob Avakian addresses a key impediment to an overwhelming outpouring of nonviolent resistance to the Trump/Pence regime... There is no better time for non-violent resistance than now. Through the application of justice, it is time to forge a new order: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go!...”

David Gunn Jr., son of Dr. David Gunn, the first abortion doctor to be assassinated by antiabortion extremists

To act in the interest of humanity, we truly need to break from this American chauvinism and instead listen to, and act according to science, not in spite of it.... This is a must watch, more than once, there is so much here to absorb, it deserves to be studied.

“Bob Avakian is speaking against apathy and for the need for courage... and for hundreds of thousands and millions to be out on the front lines. I’m glad to see an atheist quoting a religious pastor, Martin Niemöller—who spoke out against Nazi Germany and on behalf of the Jews and those in the resistance.”

Rafael Angulo, Clinical Professor, School of Social Work, University of Southern California

Too often, we decide to vote for Democrats because they are the lesser of two evils.... Avakian’s advice that we should not vote for the lesser of two evils because it is evil cuts very close to home.

From Rev. Frank Wulf, Pastor,
Echo Park United Methodist Church, Los Angeles

“I am very strong recommending, Bob Avakian, my brother; in a prophetic way he highlights real issues that are happening in the U.S. ... a prophet is the one with the capacity to first identify problems; second have the capacity and the courage to denounce the problem. But more important, to change that reality of oppression into a liberating experience.”...

Father Luis Barrios, Holyrood Church/Iglesia Santa Cruz, NYC

Bob Avakian is a man living in truth... Avakian’s talk… was so penetrating, convincing and compassionate... use this talk to deal with the fear factor, the apathy, the propaganda machine, the distraction and dumbing down to the max. Instead, refuse to live on the dark side and be focused on stopping this fascism.

Ernesto de la Loza, Street Artist ‒ Muralist

This is a powerful speech... People need to wake up to the dangerous possibility of a new type danger in our country and in our world.

Dongping Han, historian and author

My parents and grandparents escaped from Nazi Germany and survived the Holocaust. I know what happens when people do not resist fascism. Now is the time to watch, listen and learn from a leader who is showing us the true picture of the Fascism in America and what we must do to stop it... Watch the film by Bob Avakian.

David Meyerhof, educator/poet

- Maggie Brown, artist, activist

- Isabel Cardenas, immigration activist

- Herb Boyd, author, journalist, activist
