The World Needs Revolution Books
Join in the 2010 Fund Drive

F r i e n d s !

We are launching a campaign to save and expand Revolution Books:
THE WORLD NEEDS REVOLUTION BOOKS FUND DRIVE.

Question: Will you help save the one place in New York City that refuses to accept that the horrors of today have to be, the bookstore where you can meet the revolution?

Problem: Revolution Books is not breaking even monthly. We have a plan to change that as we expand the bookstore's impact throughout the city. But for that plan to work, we need $70,000 by January 2011.

Solution: You and people like you taking up this cause.

Our plan:

1. Expand Friends of Revolution Books sustainer program. Goal = 250 Friends by Jan 2011. We currently have 70 Friends who contribute $20-$100 monthly.

2. Raise $70,000 through additional donations, income from events and Friends' fundraising efforts.

3. Double income from sales through increasing traffic, expanding coursebook sales and used books sales.

Background: We raised $78,000 in our last Fund Drive which ended in February 2010. Then came a string of emergencies: Haiti, Gaza, the Gulf of Mexico, Afghanistan, Arizona... We responded repeatedly with major forums within days, when it mattered. Fund raising fell off.

Revolution Books must respond to the challenges of this moment and be financially viable. Be part of putting RB on its feet financially, help it impact society with the books, critical engagement, and defiant resistance -- all as part of building a movement for revolution.

Here are some things you can do:

1. Become a Friend of Revolution Books, contributing $100, $50, $30 or $20 monthly. Receive 10% off books, free admission to most events, and a gift. (More details on the right.) Almost everyone can afford at least $20 a month for something they really value.
2. Make a one-time contribution of $1000, $500, $100, $50 or $25.. (More details on the right.)
3. Contribute your time, expertise, creative energy. Volunteers needed for:
   - Events promotion
