PRONOUNS AND STARVING CHILDREN
by Bob Avakian June 18, 2022 I have previously pointed to this horrific fact: in the period of slightly more than 75 years since the end of World War 2, because of the way the world is dominated by the system of capitalism-imperialism, at least 350 million children in the Third World have needlessly died because of starvation and preventable disease—a number greater than the entire population of this country!* And this terrible reality of what amounts to mass extermination of children is just one of the truly horrendous atrocities which this system of capitalism-imperialism imposes on humanity. Do you think that any of these children—or their loved […]

This has come up, for example, in the fight waged by RiseUp4Abortion Rights.org to prevent the fascist majority on the Supreme Court from ripping away the right to abortion by overturning Roe v. Wade. “Rise Up” has consistently sought to build the broadest […]

THE CRUCIAL FIGHT FOR ABORTION RIGHTS AND ENDING ALL OPPRESSION
Broad Unity and Necessary Struggle by Bob Avakian May 24, 2022 The ongoing fight for the right to abortion has become especially crucial now, with the very clear indication that the “conservative” (really fascist) majority on the Supreme Court is poised to tear away this right (by overturning Roe v. Wade, the legal ruling and precedent which established—and for 50 years, until now, has maintained—the right to abortion nationwide). At this crucial time, the fight to defend the fundamental right to abortion needs to become an even more massive, sustained, determined resistance aimed at preventing the Supreme Court from overturning Roe v. Wade. Uniting All Who […]
