Special Notice: Kickoff Events Near You

Revolution Newspaper's Six-Month Expansion and $500,000 Fund Drive!
Kick-Off Events August 4-5

Starting right now, YOU can play a critical role in making this all happen. Come to kick-off events over the weekend of August 4-5, where you'll get hooked up with bundles of this special fundraising issue of Revolution. And at many of these events, you'll be able to meet and talk to writers from Revolution. Teams will be formed. You'll hear about ambitious goals. And you'll contribute to figuring out exciting plans. One important part of all this is for many, many people to pledge to raise $100 or more. There are a thousand ways to raise $100 or more for this fund drive, ways that rely on people, their creativity, and their desire to see this paper having much more influence. To help, there will be resources, organizing kits, and help and advice for raising money and expanding the reach of this paper at revcom.us/drive/ and at the kick-off.
