‘Militant’ fund well over the top
 
BY PATRICK O’NEILL  
In the two weeks since the Militant/Perspectiva Mundial fund drive ended, contributions have continued to come in, taking the fund well over the original goals. The final total of $97,568 surpasses the $94,000 in pledges from supporters in local areas and exceeds by nearly $12,600 the international goal of $85,000.

The fund drive enabled the Militant to halve the price of introductory subscriptions to $5—the same as the four-month sub for new readers of Perspectiva Mundial.

This helped supporters respond to the growing interest in the socialist publications by doubling the subscription base in a circulation drive that also ran from March 20 to May 17.

The recent collection includes $637 from Militant supporters in France, who originally took a goal of $300.

The final total includes two corrections. The amount collected in Canada was $2,691, not $3,864 as the final chart printed in the May 31 issue showed. In addition, the chart showed the collection in Cleveland at $1,005, or 84 percent of the local goal, when in fact supporters there had sent in $1,205—100 percent—before the deadline. Pittsburgh and Philadelphia supporters also made their goals a little bit after the cut-off date for the chart.

Fund organizers are sending out a thank-you letter to the hundreds of contributors around the world who made the fund drive a double victory with the international circulation drive.
