The BAsics Bus Tour is on the ground in NYC!
The BAsics Bus Tour is on the ground in NYC! Two buses, with over 2 dozen volunteers, are in the Bronx and Brooklyn as you read this, already meeting and getting with many people about the revolutionary leadership of Bob Avakian – lifting sights to a different and liberating world and the many ways thousands can be involved in this movement for revolution starting now.
Going deep into the ground zero neighborhoods of the NYPD’s ugly stop and frisk assault on hundreds of thousands of youth, thevolunteers were hosted on one of their first nights here for dinner by families of victims of police murder. They describe an evening none will forget, with heartfelt pain and humor, wonderful food and deep exchange about what people face under this system and how to get out of it.

For the next 10 days, the BAsics bus tour travels through the Bronx, Brooklyn and nearby cities, reaching out to and involving thousands and changing people’s ideas of the possiblity of real change – making a movement for revolution real.

Preparing for the BAsics Bus Tour coming to the Bronx: Going to Soundview

This week, as we have gone to community centers and people we have met in the Bronx to prepare places for the tour volunteers to stay and more, we went to the Soundview area and to the block where Amadou Diallo was shot 41 times by NYC police in the alcove of his apartment building in 1999.
