Pathfinder launches $80,000 fund drive
 
BY MAURICE WILLIAMS  
Supporters of Pathfinder books launched an $80,000 fund drive at the March 11 celebration in New York of the 40th anniversary of the Cuban people's revolutionary victory at the Bay of Pigs and successful literacy campaign. It was a solid start to the campaign, with participants in the event contributing more than $2,700 and making pledges totaling about $23,600.

Martín Koppel, editor of the Militant and Perspectiva Mundial, explained at the meeting that the fund will help make it possible to continue producing new Pathfinder titles and keep in print the entire arsenal of revolutionary books and pamphlets. These include titles like the three newest ones--Playa Girón/Bay of Pigs, Making History, and Fertile Ground, which socialist workers and Young Socialists have embarked on a campaign to sell widely--and others such as the recently published pamphlet The Working Class and the Transformation of Learning, which has come out in English, Spanish, and French and will also be published in Swedish and Icelandic.

"All these books are not only produced but are financed exclusively through the contributions of working people and others who support Pathfinder," Koppel stressed.

The campaign will go through late May. Supporters will be organizing public fund-raising meetings in the coming weeks.

To help with the fund campaign, contact your nearest Pathfinder bookstore (listed on page 12). To make a contribution, checks and money orders should be made payable to Pathfinder, and sent to: Pathfinder, 410 West Street, New York, NY 10014.
