Socialist Workers Party launches $100,000 fund drive
BY BRIAN WILLIAMS
The Socialist Workers Party is launching a $100,000 fund drive to take
advantage of growing opportunities to win working people to the party.
The 10-week drive runs from Sept. 24 to Dec. 7.
It takes place as the party is turning to focus its activity in engaging
workers on their doorsteps, discussing the deepening world capitalist
crisis and the party’s program. This turn builds on the conquests by
party members in door-to-door campaigning over the past several months
in Minnesota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington and other states
across the country.
An important component of this drive will be winning workers to get and
study Are They Rich Because They’re Smart? Class, Privilege and Learning
Under Capitalism by SWP National Secretary Jack Barnes and Pathfinder’s
new edition of Is Socialist Revolution in the U.S. Possible? A Necessary
Debate Among Working People by Mary-Alice Waters. The new book will be
available from SWP branches at the beginning of October.
The fund helps cover the SWP’s expenses here and abroad, leading this
turn and participating in workers’ struggles, actions against police
brutality and other social protests, as well as working to broaden the
fight to end Washington’s continuing embargo against revolutionary Cuba.
Branches around the country are adopting quotas to meet the national
goal, including plans to reach out more broadly for contributions. As
party supporters campaign with workers, they find more are interested in
helping build the SWP by making a donation.
The Militant will provide weekly coverage as part of winning working
people to support and join the party. A chart with local goals and
payments received through Mon., Oct. 3, will be printed in next week’s
issue. We ask all those who participate to send reports on your work
that can be included in this column.
To contribute and join in efforts to raise funds, contact SWP units
listed in the directory on page 8.
