DESCRIPTION:Come to Revolution Books at 2444 Durant Ave for an in-person event. We 
 invite everyone who is sickened by the US government and what it has done 
 to people all over the planet and to people here, everyone who refuses to 
 join in the orgy of July 4 flag waving and patriotism, to come to 
 Revolution Books for an Anti-July 4 screening and discussion of the 
 powerful film “SIR! NO SIR!” by David Zeiger.  This film tells the true 
 story of the powerful anti-war movement which emerged inside the US 
 military during the war in Vietnam.  It is a powerful antidote to the lies 
 about Making America Great Again, and the lies about the war in Vietnam 
 that make heroes of the US military which dropped napalm on children. 
 \n\nSir! No Sir! 1) Brings to life the history of the GI movement through 
 the stories of those who were part of it; 2) Reveals the explosion of 
 defiance that the movement gave birth to with never-before-seen archival 
 material; 3) Explores the profound impact that movement had on the military 
 and the war itself; and 4) The film also tells the story of how and why the 
 GI Movement has been erased from the public memory.\n\nAs the Declaration, 
 A Call to Get Organized Now for a Real Revolution says:  “...it is a fact 
 that, at the high point of the 1960s, the strength of the radical 
 liberation movements at that time reached into and strongly influenced 
 every part and every institution of society—including the armed forces of 
 this system, where more of the soldiers looked for leadership from the 
 Black Panther Party and other revolutionary-minded forces than from the 
 president of the United States (the so-called 'commander-in-chief' of the 
 armed forces).”\n\n On this July 4th, there is nothing to celebrate about 
 this blood-soaked country, its wars of empire, its destruction of the 
 environment, its murderous police, and all the suffering it has caused 
 people here and around the world.\n\nWatch the trailer here:

 GET ORGANIZED NOW FOR A REAL REVOLUTION, from www.revcom.us\n
