NO RIGHT TO KILL WITH RELIGION
“Religious Exemptions” Are Not a Legitimate Reason for Refusing Vaccinesby Bob Avakian September 30, 2021 Why is there such a thing as “religious exemptions” as a way of getting around requirements (mandates) to get vaccinated against COVID?

To Those Rising Up and Awakening: It Takes Science and Leadership to Truly Get Free
June 8, 2020 (Reposted from revcom.us) This is written especially to those who have been righteously standing up and fighting back against murder by police and the oppression of Black people more generally, and to all those who have taken heart and inspiration from this, who are newly encountering the Revolution. Welcome! We stand side by side with you in this struggle and unite with your outrage and fury against centuries of oppression that truly must be NO MORE.
