On viewing the film Revolution & Religion
"The film brings you up close inside Cornel West's and Bob Avakian's dialogue: the passion, the audacity, the science, the morality, the revolutionary substance. Two courageous voices modeling a morality that refuses to accept injustice – pouring heart and soul into standing together challenging all of us to fight for a world worthy of humanity."
—Andy Zee, co-director of the film

Rising Up to Stop Police Terror
December 26, Chicago police murdered Bettie Jones, a 55-year-old Black woman, mother of five in the middle of a battle with cancer, and a 19-year-old Black college student, Quintonio Legrier, inside the vestibule of a two-flat on Chicago's West Side. The next day, the family called for a vigil at the house where the two were murdered by the police. The Revolution Club of Chicago brought a banner of photos of people murdered by police around the country and organized people to march with the banner carried by youth from the neighborhood. Chants rang out: "Indict, Convict, Send the Killer Cops to Jail, the Whole Damn System Is Guilty as Hell!" Protests have continued. Above: December 31, 2016. See coverage here.

A Nightmarish Dynamic That Imprisons Humanity...And the Real Alternative—
From the Writings and Talks of Bob Avakian:
The "Two Outmodeds" and Bringing Forward Another Way
Throughout the world, two forces contend--imperialism and Islamic fundamentalism. Neither has an emancipatory answer to the agonizing, killing, and planet-destroying problems confronting humanity. In this collection, find essential and crucial understanding of why the interests of humanity lie completely outside of and opposed to these "alternatives" and how humanity can break the vise-grip of this vicious dynamic...and break through to a whole new world.

WWW.REVCOM.US/REVOLUTION NEWSPAPER brings alive a scientific analysis of major events in society and the world—why they are happening, how different events and developments relate to each other, how all this relates to the system we live under, where people's interests lie in relation to all this, how revolution is in fact the solution to all this and what the goals of that revolution are, how different viewpoints and programs relate, positively or negatively, to the revolution that is needed, and how people can move, and are moving, to build toward that revolution. Revcom.us/Revolution is the guide, the pivot, the crucial tool in drawing forward, orienting, training, and organizing thousands, and influencing millions—fighting the power, and transforming the people, for revolution—hastening and preparing for the time when we can go for the whole thing, with a real chance to win.
