Supporters of the Socialist Workers Party campaign will kick off the
drive to put Joe Swanson on the ballot for City Council At-Large in
Lincoln, Nebraska, with a weekend of campaigning Feb. 6-7.
Swanson is a longtime union member who worked on the railroad, in
meatpacking and elsewhere. He is a member of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and
Transportation Workers — Transportation Division Alumni Association
Local 1732.
Volunteers from Nebraska, Chicago and Twin Cities will join Swanson to
use the SWP campaign to discuss how workers can organize to defend our
interests in struggle against the bosses and their Democratic and
Republican parties. Their goal is to collect the 150 signatures needed
to put Swanson on the ballot. Above, Rae Arellano signs Swanson’s
petition in Lincoln.
The weekend will include a public meeting Feb. 6. If you’d like to help
campaign, or contribute to the financial costs, contact the Socialist
Workers Party in Lincoln, Chicago or Twin Cities.

Emmett F. Fields “ Atheism is more than just the knowledge that gods do
not exist, and that religion is either a mistake or a fraud. Atheism is
an attitude, a frame of mind that looks at the world objectively,
fearlessly, always trying to understand all things as a part of nature.
” ― Emmett F. Fields
