DESCRIPTION:  MAY DAY CELEBRATION  Sunday  May 2  at 6pm  Humanist Hall  390 27th 
 Street and 411 28th Street  near downtown Oakland between Telegraph and 
 Broadway  For the people of the world, this moment crackles with both 
 danger and   opportunity!  This moment calls for the most energetic, 
 massive, fearless opposition   possible.  And it calls for the most 
 determined forces to take up the   revolutionary road, to help wrench a 
 whole different future out of the   crisis and madness of today.  On this 
 May Day, the revolutionary holiday of the international working   class, 
 join us at an extraordinary event which will feature:          *** A 
 preview clip of a video which will give for the first time, an   opening 
 glimpse of a recent talk by Bob Avakian, Chairman of the   Revolutionary 
 Communist Party, USA (RCP), “REVOLUTION: Why It’s Necessary,   Why 
 It’s Possible, What It’s All About.”  What could more openly defy the 
   official verdicts of our times?  For over a decade the lies have been   
 hammered home at us: that revolution is “impossible,” that communism is 
 “a   failure,” and that vanguard parties only lead to new oppression.  
 We are all   supposed to lower our sights - and accept lives of resignation 
 and   desperation.  What Avakian provides, here in this talk, is an answer 
 to all   this - a living link between the intense challenges we face at 
 this moment   and a vivid, realistic vision of a radically different world. 
  What could be   more uplifting and needed?  This event will also be a 
 celebration of:          * The 25th Anniversary of the Revolutionary Worker 
 newspaper   (http://www.rwor.org.)  For 25 years, the Revolutionary Worker 
 has nurtured the   dreams of revolution here in the nerve center of 
 capitalism.  It has trained   a new generation of revolutionary activists 
 and leaders. It has championed   the oppressed and the visionary.  All this 
 work, over a quarter of a   century, has brought us to this moment, when 
 this newspaper is posed to play   a crucial role in the events that will 
 now unfold.          * The 20th anniversary of the formation of the 
 Revolutionary   Internationalist Movement (RIM) 
 (http://www.rwor.org/a/rwlink/links.htm.)  Over two   decades – while 
 capitalism has declared itself triumphant, and the U.S.   declared  itself 
 all-powerful –  the RIM has gathered together   Marxist-Leninist-Maoist 
 parties and organizations around the world, and   struggled to forge the 
 basis for a new communist international.  To help or for more info call or
