Efforts to win new subscribers will get a boost by the special offer on the brand-new Pathfinder pamphlet Is Socialist Revolution in the U.S. Possible?, which will be available for just $1 with a subscription that week only.

There are plenty of opportunities to win new readers even before the target week begins.

“In the yearly César Chávez parade and festival, the Socialist Workers campaign had a table,” wrote Lea Sherman from San Francisco. “We sold six Militant subscriptions, 18 single copies of the paper, and $110 in Pathfinder books.”

“We had a really good week,” reported Susan Lamont from Carrollton, Georgia. Supporters of the paper there sold four subscriptions as part of efforts to build the May Day action for legalization of immigrants in that town, four going door-to-door in the Black community, and several to students and truck drivers.

In Texas, supporters of the paper got a boost to the subscription effort building speaking engagements for Mary-Alice Waters, editor of the Pathfinder book Our History Is Still Being Written, at the University of North Texas in Denton. “We sold 11 subscriptions, 5 of these with the Cuba and the Coming American Revolution special offer, and 4 with The Working Class and the Transformation of Learning pamphlet,” writes Jacquie Henderson. The book Cuba and the Coming American Revolution is available for half price, just $5, with a subscription for the duration of the circulation drive.
