Getting Ready for the BAsics Bus Tour
From a correspondent
It was close to 2 am when a few of the other volunteers and I finally sat down to talk after a send off party for us as we head out to be part of the BAsics Bus Tour – we were already getting a feeling of what wrangling into the night was gonna be all about! The party was hosted by two young supporters of the revolution. It was an evening where people celebrated the BAsics Bus Tour and got involved in supporting it. It was just a taste of how lively debate and discussion is opened up when you bring BA into the mix. It also made a dramatic impact for those at the party to encounter this diverse group of people that have decided to get on a bus and go on tour with this, and the different types of people coming together in a myriad of ways to make this happen.
People came to this party who had never encountered the movement for revolution before, or who had come out in the streets protesting the murder of Trayvon Martin and were just starting to check it out, as well as veteran revolutionaries and volunteers getting on the bus. Food was served for $5 a plate, folks talked and hung out and then sat down together to hear more about the Tour and to hear from a couple of the volunteers.
