SAY NO to Celebrating America,
Truly a Model of Depraved, Racist Genocide.
We Need and Demand: Revolution
For a Whole New Way to Live,
A Fundamentally Different System!
- When the U.S. is backing the Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people, we’ve seen the images of the rubble, bodies of children with grieving mothers and fathers. We cannot look away if it is to be stopped. Bring this alive through art and spoken word that shocks the conscience, that wakens people to the devastation and lives lost in Gaza.
- When the countless names of the lives stolen by police grow in this country every year. Illustrate their names so this can finally end! George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. Eric Garner. Sandra Bland. Tamir Rice. Michael Brown. WE SAY: NO MORE!
- When every day, thousands of immigrants leave their homelands and cross dangerous waters, jungles, deserts to go up against barbed wire, circular saw buoys, border walls, and violence from fascists and border patrol. Tell the stories of their journey, and the cruelty of this country through visuals, spoken word music, and performance.

Millions see these things and don’t make the connection, or worse say “what does this have to do with me?” If you care about humanity, it has everything to do with you. These crimes are connected to the whole history of this country, from its founding to today, and the economic system capitalism-imperialism that is the root cause of all this suffering.
We are building a movement for a real revolution to overthrow this system.
A revolution that is more possible today, and whose goal is the emancipation of humanity.
We are reaching to people from different perspectives who see the importance in this momentous time to NOT celebrate America and to work for a whole different future than what this system will bring. Revolution for a whole new way to live.
No Fascist Trump! No Genocide Joe!
The Whole Damn System’s Got To Go!
If you are letting July 4th pass—in a year where America is the source of unprecedented levels of misery around the world—then what ARE you doing?
BE at Revolution Books NYC this Thursday, JULY 4, if you want to be part of making this bold declaration on the day we are supposed to be celebrating America.
