#85 - April 21. 22 Plans - Reaching Our Goals
When we set off to introduce Bob Avakian to hundreds of thousands of people with the special issue, we set plans to achieve just that. Saturation, saturation, saturation. This weekend, we are fighting through to reach those goals, getting thousands and thousands to key areas and important sections of people. In quite a few reports, people are saying - I heard about this here or saw you here. People are beginning to talk about Bob Avakian and what he's about.
We are within reach of our goals, but not without really pushing forward this weekend. They were real when we set them and we aim to meet them this weekend. Teams should consciously fight through to meet the goals set below and not accept only a few hundred people getting the broadsheet. We can do this!

Howard Zinn and Anthony Arnove will introduce and narrate an evening of dramatic readings from Voices of a People's History of the United States. The public performances of Voices are inspiring, challenging reminders of our rich history of protest and its relevance. In a series of compelling readings, the words of rebels, dissenters, and visionaries from our past—and present—will echo in The Cooper Union's historic Great Hall including Malcolm X, Frederick Douglass, Fannie Lou Hamer, Maria Stewart, Tecumseh, Emma Goldman, Paul Robeson, Susan B. Anthony, Yuri Kochiyama, Leonard Peltier, Cindy Sheehan, Martin Luther King, Jr., Henry Turner, and many others.
May 3, 6:30 PM. An Evening with Barbara Kingsolver at Cooper Union. Barbara Kingsolver, bestselling author of The Poisonwood Bible, will be speaking at The Cooper Union's Great Hall about her new book, Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, which chronicles the year she and her family vowed to spend eating a locally-produced diet and avoiding food transported by the use of fossil fuel. This local-food project was the culmination of Kingsolver's longstanding conviction that America has lost its way when it comes to the production and consumption of food. Kingsolver's book makes a compelling case for putting the kitchen back at the center of family life and diversified farms at the center of the American diet. Proceeds from this event will benefit Bette Midler's New York Restoration Project, a non-profit dedicated to revitalizing underserved parks, community gardens, and open space throughout New York City and to teaching children to be better environmental stewards.
