Vol. 72/No. 42      October 27, 2008

“Many meat packers have shown interest in the fighting perspective presented by the Militant, particularly where they have fought for their rights on the job, including the right to organize unions,” reports Rollande Girard in Twin Cities. “Workers in these areas have also been part of protests against raids and deportations.”

Twin Cities supporters of the paper have decided to raise their quota because of the response they are receiving. The international goals don’t yet add up to 2,400 so others are invited to increase their current quota.

The subscription drive is entering its third week and is a little behind schedule. Where partisans of the paper are engaging in discussions on the deepening financial crisis, its impact on the working class, and the platform of the Socialist Workers Party campaign, they are finding interest in subscribing to the paper.

Frank Forrestal, the SWP candidate for U.S. Congress in the 3rd District in Iowa, writes, “Campaigning in working-class neighborhoods in Des Moines we got a good response to our local and presidential campaign, selling 14 subscriptions, including one copy of New International no. 14.”

New International no. 14 magazine includes the articles “Revolution, internationalism, and socialism: The last year of Malcolm X” and “The Clintons’ antilabor legacy: Roots of the 2008 world financial crisis” and is only $10 with a subscription to the paper.

Campaigners in Canada sold 20 subscriptions this week on street tables in Montreal and Vancouver, campuses, at a young feminists conference, and at the closing rally for the Communist League federal election campaign.

To meet socialist campaigners and get involved in the subscription effort, contact local distributors listed on page 6.
