DESCRIPTION:JULY 4, 2023\nAMERICA IS NOTHING TO CELEBRATE!\n\n“…for revolting 
 barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a 
 rival…”\n\nWE DEMAND:\nA WHOLE NEW WAY TO LIVE,\nA FUNDAMENTALLY 
 DIFFERENT SYSTEM!\n\nThe USA is the #1 capitalist-imperialist exploiter and 
 oppressor in the world today. This\nsystem is the source of all the 
 outrages and madness that people are subjected to here, and\naround the 
 world. This system poses a growing threat to the future of humanity. We can 
 no\nlonger stand to live this way.\n\nLet us not cover up the truth, the 
 U.S. was founded in slavery, has perpetrated genocide\nagainst Native 
 American people; invaded, occupied, and staged coups throughout the 
 world;\ndropped nuclear bombs; napalmed farming villages; trained legions 
 of baby-killing death\nsquads; assassinated leaders they didn’t like; 
 terrorized wedding parties with drone bombings;\nand now are bringing 
 humanity closer to the brink of catastrophic, even nuclear, war with 
 their\nimperialist rivals in Russia and China. And they’ve lied about 
 every bit of this in the name of\nlife, liberty, and the pursuit of 
 happiness.\n\nToday, this country is being ripped apart. Those who rule are 
 deeply divided. The\nRepublicans on one side are stripping away the rights 
 of women, LGBTQ people, immigrants,\nand Black and brown people—fighting 
 for an outright fascist form of rule. On the other side,\nthe Democrats, as 
 representatives of this system, can only try to rescue the 
 “normal”—brutally\noppressive—way things have been.\n\nThings are 
 coming to a head—careening towards a disastrous future—unless we 
 work\nand fight for something radically different and truly 
 emancipating.\n\nJuly 4, join us to demand a whole better way the world 
 could be. This future is envisioned in\nthe Constitution for the New 
 Socialist Republic in North America. This Constitution provides\nthe 
 framework for a revolutionary society moving to uproot all forms of 
 oppression and exploitation based on race, class and gender and all 
 relations where one part of humanity is subordinated and dominated by 
 others. It’s time to stop clinging to the myth of America and its 
 founding document, the exploiters’ U.S. Constitution.\n\nThis July 4: 
 which future will you stand for? \n\nJoin us at Lake Merritt in Oakland. 
 Send the message to the world: we are fighting for a world without America, 
 without everything America stands for and everything it does in the world. 
 The Revcoms will release an inspiring Declaration in the name of people 
 here and around the world for a new society on the road to real 
 emancipation — a clarion call for this time when the future hangs in the 
 balance.\nJoin us in taking this message to the people.\n
