“BAsics Bus Tour – Adelante!”
This was received from BA Everywhere organizers in Los Angeles:
We gathered last Sunday for a send-off dinner for a young volunteer from L.A. heading out to Atlanta to join up with the BAsics Bus Tour. Watching the “Next Stop… Revolution” video on the Tour blog and the youtube statements from the NYC professor and Cornel West supporting the tour, gave us a sense of the deep sentiments this tour is touching and the “good news” that the volunteers will be bringing – revolution, communism and Bob Avakian’s works and vision of a whole new and far better world. We cut a cake that said “BAsics Bus Tour – Adelante!” and shared thoughts about what to anticipate and what impact the tour will have, the difference it will make to humanity to take this message to those living in the heart of what Avakian has called the Bible belt that is also the Lynching Belt in the South of the U.S. One older man felt the BAsics tour into the South is historic, and he told the volunteer, “this tour will change you – prepare to be changed!” We thought this captured something about how the tour will be fighting the power and transforming the people for revolution – and all of us who throw in, take this up, involve many others, follow the tour and spread its impact - will be changed, as we aim to accomplish a real leap in this movement for revolution through this bus tour! People brought donations they had collected from others, everyone donated at the event, with some making very generous contributions, and we raised over $1,400 towards the success of the tour and spreading BA everywhere!
