All Out Labor Day Weekend Sept 2-3-4: (1) Sat Rev Bks 10:30AM; (2)Sunday Many dif events to go to; (3) Monday ALL OUT to West Indian Day Festival
Friday, September 1st
This Labor Day Weekend it is crucial to reach out and orient everyone we meet to get activated RIGHT AWAY around the WCW –DRBR – Oct 5 – “That there is a Day, There is a Way” and everyone is left with materials to spread out into the area, the city, the country , the world. We should sign up people, but there’s work to be done right away to raise money, to build for September 7th meetings and to make plans for October 5th.
Why are revolutionairies working to build for a massive October 5th? Monstrous crimes have been committed and still more monstrous ones loom. We must BRING THIS TO A HALT! From our revolutionary point of view, we must do that with the clear perspective going forward on to another future, an emancipatory one toward communism.
