 Waldo Martin, UCB professor reads from his book "Black Against Empire:  The 
 History and Politics of the Black Panther Party"\n    Reiko Redmonde, 
 manager, Revolution Books talks about the bookstore\n    Rafael Kadaris, 
 Refuse Fascism organizer speaks about November 4 - The Trump/Pence Regime 
 Must Go!\n\nRevolution Books has been assaulted and threatened by fascist 
 forces - about 40 people who came for Milo Yiannopoulos' so-called "Free 
 Speech" Week stormed the bookstore, pounding on the store's windows, making 
 threats, calling people "commie scum," while chanting "USA, USA, USA." Some 
 of these fascists returned to threaten the bookstore 3 more times. Threats 
 continue.\n\n Revolution Books is a special place that brings people 
 together to learn about the world in a deep, scientific, and revolutionary 
 way. It stands against everything the Trump/Pence fascist regime is about. 
 At the heart of the store are books on the path to human emancipation and a 
 liberated world, as concentrated in the new communism, developed by Bob 
 Avakian.\n\n Everyone who cares about the future of huma nity and values 
 critical thinking - and who wants to contribute to driving the Trump/Pence 
 fascist regime from power - should stand with Revolution Books right now. 
 Spread the word.\n\nA few of the many statements of support:\n\n"It is 
 outrageous that Revolution Books is being targeted by right-wing / fascist/ 
 T***p-supporters.  We in the Berkeley community & throughout the country 
 are solidly on your side, & applaud your courage, tenacity, & 
 determination.   #ResistPersist"  —Joyce Carol Oates, author\n\n"It 
 horrifies me to hear that our beloved Revolution Books was targeted by 
 vicious white supremacists. Bookstores like Revolution Books are examples 
 of the best this nation has to offer: freedom-loving, science-celebrating, 
 creativity-inspiring. It's one of the many heartbeats of this wonderful 
 community of ours, and we won't allow it to be silenced or destroyed."  
 —Ayelet Waldman, author  \n  \n“An attack on Revolution Books is an 
 attack on us all, on our freedom of inquiry in the quest of knowledge, 
 ideas, truth if you will. No society can long exist without that freedom, 
 and neither can the world in the age of ‘Globalization.’ The empire 
 gone mad to protect the concentrated wealth and power of the few threatens 
 the ability of the Earth herself to sustain life. Those who govern us deny 
 science itself, science born from the very impulse of inquiry, and foster 
 dangerously narrow allegiances and a broad belligerence fostering racism, 
 xenophobia, intolerance, hatred, and violence. We, as a community, must 
 resist with all our will and strength these not only villainous but insane 
 forces that infect the nation.”  —Rafael Jesús González, Poet 
 Laureate of the City of Berkeley, California; Prof. Emeritus of writing & 
 literature\n\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2017/10/10/18803528.php
