Today, Chicago is most famous for one thing: young Black and Latino people shooting each other. Imagine what it would mean for Chicago to become known as the place where youth caught up in the 'street life' break with it and become revolutionaries. This is what Revolution Summer! is all about. Read more below.

Come learn about the Revolution Summer! project. Meet and hear from Carl Dix (representative of the Revolutionary Communist Party), volunteers from around the country, and the Revolution Club. Bring your concerns, your ideas and engage this project.

They are bold, they are challenging, and they are fighting for different morals and values all in the service of a revolution to emancipate all of humanity.

Driving Directions: Take the Austin exit from 290, go north 1 block to Harrison. Go left (west) on Harrison a couple of blocks to 128 Harrison. The venue has M.S.S. on the window and 1017 on the door. You can park on the street or in the church parking lot across the street for no fee.

MORE ON REVOLUTION SUMMER!:

Revolution Summer! is taking place in a context where Trump, the American Hitler, threatens to “send in the feds” to Chicago —intensifying the police state that already brutalizes and murders youth and enforces the conditions that give birth to gang violence. Local columnists encourage walling off neighborhoods like Englewood and sending in the national guard. Trump's education secretary, DeVos, aims to gut the public schools even harder spreading Christian fundamentalist schools that will turn Black and Latino children into unthinking robots. All this will be the spear point of a whole fascist offensive against people of color, an intensifying genocide.

In the face of this, answering a call for volunteers, people joined with the Revolutionary Communist Party for a plan to radically turn this around. In short, to make Chicago famous for something else: a city where the youth who are being targeted get organized to overthrow the system that targets them.

This means mobilizing youth and others against the oppression coming down but even more, right now, it means struggling with what these youth are caught up in, with how they are seeing the world and their role in that world. The Revolution Club opened an organizing center in South Shore with plans to do the same on the west side of Chicago. Shortly after the center opened, 7 people were killed in 24 hours in this neighborhood—which Carl Dix spoke to in his statement, “Get Out of This Insanity and Get Into the Revolution.” (http://revcom.us/a/484/carl-dix-says-get-out-of-this-insanity-en.html?utm_source=revcoms&utm_campaign=160d2361c8-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_06_10&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_2a72c6dc1d-160d2361c8-) This gives a sense of what urgently cries out to be done—and that this club is there on the front lines, fighting to do it.
