DESCRIPTION:Special Event: Carl Dix & Sunsara Taylor:  \nWe Need a Revolution and...\na 
 Revolution IS Possible\n\nCome hear Carl Dix & Sunsara Taylor in-person 
 speak on why.  They will take questions.\n\nCarl Dix is a long time 
 revolutionary leader and a founding member of the Revolutionary Communist 
 Party (RCP). The foundation of his work is the new synthesis of communism 
 developed by Bob Avakian, the leader of the RCP.\n\nIn 1970, Carl was part 
 of the Fort Lewis 6, the largest mass refusal of US soldiers to go to 
 Vietnam. In 1985, Carl spearheaded the publication of the Draw The Line 
 Statement that condemned the bombing of the MOVE house in Philadelphia, 
 killing 11 people, 5 of them children. In 1996, he co-founded the October 
 22 Coalition to Stop Police Brutality, Repression and the Criminalization 
 of a Generation. In 2011, Carl, together with Dr. Cornel West, co-founded 
 the Stop Mass Incarceration Network and initiated a campaign of civil 
 disobedience to STOP "Stop and Frisk." This campaign took the effort to end 
 that racist and illegitimate policy to a higher level. In 2014, Carl and 
 Cornel called for making October a Month of Resistance to Mass 
 Incarceration, Police Terror, Repression and the Criminalization of a 
 Generation.\n\nSunsara Taylor is a writer for Revolution Newspaper, an 
 initiator of Stop Patriarchy, and sits on the Advisory Board of World Can't 
 Wait. She has written on the rise of theocracy, wars and repression in the 
 U.S., police murder and mass incarceration, and more. She has led in 
 building resistance to these crimes as part of building the movement for 
 revolution to put an end to all this. She takes as her foundation the new 
 synthesis on revolution and communism developed by Bob Avakian.\n\nIn 2013 
 and 2014, Taylor led two Abortion Rights Freedom Rides, nationwide 
 political and moral counteroffensives against the attacks on abortion. 
 Declaring that "Forced Motherhood is Female Enslavement" these Rides 
 situated the battle over abortion in the fight for women's liberation, 
 traveled to 17 states, and mobilized mass independent political resistance 
 to defeat the war on women. You can find her impressive verbal battles with 
 Bill O'Reilly and various political commentary by searching "Sunsara 
 Taylor" on youtube. \n\n
