DESCRIPTION:April 26, 2004  Join us to celebrate May Day!  May 1st is May Day, the day 
 of the international proletarait working class, an international 
 revolutionary holiday with the vision that another world without 
 exploitation and oppression is possible and dedicated to the struggle of 
 people all over the world to make this vision real.  Such a holiday is more 
 than ever important in these historic times as people all over the planet 
 face off against the US government's war on the world and agenda of 
 domestic repression.  Every year, a special issue of the Revolutionary 
 Worker newspaper is published to celebrate May Day, with articles on 
 revolution and the righteous struggles of peoples all around the world from 
 the peasants rising up in Nepal to create a whole new socialist society to 
 the students, immigrants and workers right here in the United States who 
 are fighting for a better world.  (check out http://www.rwor.org)  This 
 year, a special issue of the Revolutionary Worker will be available prior 
 to May Day featuring articles on the historic contributions of Bob Avakian, 
 Chairman of the Central Committee of the Revolutionary Communist Party, and 
 celebrating two important events: the 25th anniversary of the RW newspaper, 
 and 20th anniversary of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement (RIM). 
 RIM is a revolutionary organization consisting of Maoist groups and aprties 
 from all around the world.  To celebrate May Day this year, we are inviting 
 people to join us in two exciting projects:  * mass distribution of the 
 special issue of the RW newspaper with emphasis on distributing it to area 
 high school students and getting the Spanish issue of the paper into the 
 hands of immigants and farm workers in outlying areas.  * An event is 
 scheduled for Sunday May 2nd at 6 pm at the Humanist Hall, 390-27th Avenue 
 in Oakland  This event will feature an amazing preview video clip from an 
 upcoming DVD of a recent speech by Bob Avakian.    *Join us to distribute 
 the RW to area high school students or immigrants or sign up to get copies 
 of the paper to distribute in your own or other communities.  * Teachers, 
 can develop, circulate or utilize resources about the history and 
 significance of May Day. These materials will be developed for teachers to 
 use for classroom discussions. Some important resources including the 
 origins of May Day are available at Revolution Books, 2625 Channing Way, 
 Berkeley (510-848-1196).  * Lawyers or those with skills as legal observers 
 are needed to monitor the action of police, INS, and other law enforcement 
 agents while the paper is being distributed. The recent terrorization of 
 two Oakland high school students by Secret Service agents for comments 
 supposedly made during a classroom discussion on the war on Iraq is just 
 one example of efforts by government to stifle political discussion by 
 students in the classroom.  You can help us prepare for the Sunday May 2nd 
 event at the Humanist Hall. Help will be needed to publicize the event 
 especially by flyering and posting May Day leaflets. You can also 
 participate in making banners and posters or help with decorating and 
 setting up the place.  Please contact Revolution Books 
 (revolutionbooks@earthlink.net) or (510-848-1196).  This will be an 
 unforgettable experience for everyone who participates.  \n
