At KAOS Network, 4343 Leimert Blvd. donation requested at the door. For more info call 213.304.9864.

?No more generations of our youth, here and all around the world, whose life is over, whose fate has been sealed, who have been condemned to an early death or a life of misery and brutality, whom the system has destined for oppression and oblivion even before they are born. I say no more of that.?

Bob Avakian, Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, BAsics 1:13

The BAsics Bus Tour brought this quote everywhere it stopped, and hundreds of people along the route and all over the country signed English and Spanish banners of this quote, standing with the people of Sanford. A collage of pictures of these signings was passed out in Sanford, where the bus tour volunteers marched through town and together with people there spoke out powerfully in front of the Sanford police station.

The BAsics Bus Tour went into some of the most downpressed neighborhoods in Georgia and Florida where there is deep outrage and hurt and anger that a generation of Black youth is being treated as ?a generation of suspects.? The bus tour volunteers introduced people to the book BAsics and the work and vision of Bob Avakian, the leader who has opened up the pathway of revolution to end these outrages and the whole system that is causing them. And everywhere the bus tour went it brought people into the movement for revolution.

On June 20th hear about what happened on this bus tour, the voices of the people who encountered this tour, what was accomplished through it, and the lessons for moving forward to build the movement for revolution. And be part of taking this experience higher: supporting, donating, and volunteering for the next leg of the BAsics Bus Tour taking off in July.
