Get out Issue #83 & preparations for April 2nd Special Revolution broadsheet

Special Issue Coming!

The April 2 issue of Revolution will be a special broadsheet, designed for distribution in huge quantities.

The point: to introduce hundreds of thousands of new people to Bob Avakian’s vision of communism, his analysis of the heavy challenges that people face today, and his program for how to deal with all this…

We’re calling on distributors and regular readers to think now about how to get this issue out very, very broadly, and to make plans and preparations accordingly. Get people together now to view the DVD Revolution: Why It’s Necessary, Why It’s Possible, What It’s All About.
Bring new people into the movement, right on the spot. And then come back together and talk about how it’s going. Spread the movement: get out hundreds of thousands of papers, create a massive political wave suddenly roaring up from below like a tsunami.

Here are some events that we need to set up teams for. Volunteer; email events you can set up a team for. Some events listed are in May or June because you might want to get your ticket now for those events.

Brian Greene
For reasons that Brian Greene will explain, it is very, very useful for physicists to imagine that instead of one universe there are many. Multiple universes make the world of teeny particles, the quantum world, more understandable. They help explain how time works, and even make it logically possible to go back in time and kill Hitler. But while many universes may appeal to this prize-winning author of The Elegant Universe, most of us were happy when the word universe meant “everything there is.” Learn why we need more than one.
