60 Defiant Days from Revolution Books:
Talks, Dialogue, Performance.

We are living in one of the most dangerous times in modern human history.

The Trump/Pence regime marshals forces to hold on to power and consolidate fascist rule. It deploys paramilitary troops and unleashes armed white vigilantes to quash the beautiful uprising against racial injustice that has swept the country since the police murder of George Floyd. The regime threatens to cut off federal funds to California schools teaching the 1619 Project, aiming to muzzle historical truth about the role of slavery in this country...and punish critical thinking. It cages immigrant children on the U.S.-Mexico border, and wages war on science. 

60 Defiant Days From Revolution Books is an emergency response—as a fateful election approaches—to this juggernaut towards full-out fascism. At a time when millions are concerned and outraged. It is inspired by the historic statement from the revolutionary leader Bob Avakian, who writes:

“If this regime is able to further consolidate its power and make further leaps in implementing its horrific objectives, this will result in a devastating setback for any attempt to resist injustice and oppression, and will very likely lead to the brutal repression, and even annihilation, of defenders of democratic rights and proponents of any meaningful progressive reforms, as well as any organized forces fighting for fundamental revolutionary change.”

(On The Immediate Critical Situation, The Urgent Need to Drive Out The Fascist Trump/Pence
Regime, Voting In This Election, And the Fundamental Need For Revolution)

60 Defiant Days of passionate, informed, and politically urgent discussion and debate...inspiring and challenging cultural events...panels featuring a diverse range of scholars, social justice activists, writers...open-air discussions...spoken-word and musical performance. To deepen understanding of what we are confronting and to heighten people's determination to act.

60 Defiant Days welcomes the call from Refuse Fascism for people to take to the streets these next 60 days in mass, sustained, non-violent and determined protest to drive this regime from power.

60 Defiant Days includes a major campaign to raise $15K to support this beacon for a whole new world as we recover from the lockdown and step up to this urgent moment.
