If you subscribed to the Militant over the past few months, you've had a chance to read both the paper's truthful reporting and its socialist point of view. If you like what you've read, I urge you to renew your subscription.

In the last two months a significant number of subscribers have renewed their subscriptions to the Militant. The heightened interest in the paper has been especially noticeable among workers, farmers, and youth engaged in resistance to the attacks by the employers and their government--from coal miners opposing attacks on their union in Pennsylvania and Ohio to anti-imperialist fighters at the recent world youth festival held in Algeria.

From September 5-19, supporters of the Militant and its sister publication in Spanish, Perspectiva Mundial, will be organizing a renewal campaign to help expand the long-term readership of these two socialist publications. They will be calling or visiting new subscribers, finding out what they think of the paper, and encouraging them to renew their subscription.

Militant supporters contacting you may also invite you to visit the local Pathfinder bookstore to check out the whole array of revolutionary books and pamphlets, as well as to attend the weekly Militant Labor Forum in your area.

Supporters of the socialist press are also gearing up to carry out a campaign in the fall to win new readers. To do so, over the coming weeks they will be stepping up their circulation efforts on the job, in working-class districts, at political events, and on college campuses.

I urge you to join with other supporters of the Militant today to campaign to tell the truth about the Israeli regime's accelerated war drive against the Palestinian people.

The correspondents of the Militant and Perspectiva Mundial are active participants in the labor and farm resistance. As workers in coal mines, meatpacking, textile, and garment plants who are involved in the labor movement, they provide firsthand coverage of struggles today--from the union organizing battle among packinghouse workers in the Midwest, to the fights against cop brutality in cities such as Miami, Cincinnati, and New York.

The Militant not only tells the truth. It has a unique viewpoint. The paper explains the irreconcilable class antagonism between working people and the capitalist rulers. It points to the need for working people to organize a mass revolutionary movement to take political power out of the hands of the ruling class of billionaire families, establish a workers and farmers government, and join with working people worldwide in the fight for socialism.

From workers who were on strike at Hollander Home Fashions a few months ago, to unionists joining actions in defense of five framed-up dockworkers in South Carolina, to young people who recently returned from a trip to learn about the Cuban Revolution, a growing number of militant workers and farmers and revolutionary-minded youth are finding that they need the Militant and Perspectiva Mundial, and are becoming regular readers.

We urge you to do the same and renew your subscription.

In solidarity,
Martín Koppel
