The supporters made an important addition to the finances of the Militant and Perspectiva Mundial at a time when the communist movement was waging a working-class campaign against imperialism's assault on working people. In launching the fund the Militant noted the interest with which the publications were being met by workers and farmers on the front lines of resistance against attacks by those who benefit from the current U.S. tax system: the capitalist families and well-off professional layers who serve them. More are keen to read and discuss the wide range of articles on central political questions in the world today.

Since then, both papers made an invaluable contribution to workers and farmers and others fighting imperialism as Washington accelerated its assault on workers' rights and war against the people of Afghanistan since September. Sales of single copies of the Militant were higher over the fall, as thousands of workers and young people sought out answers and a clear working-class explanation in response to the rulers' offensive.

The Militant and Perspectiva Mundial, unlike the big-business newspapers and magazines, are funded only by the contributions of its supporters. The two periodicals are sustained by working people and youth through fund drives, special contributions such as those from the tax refund, and selling single copies and subscriptions.

Capitalism will never stop providing plenty of reasons to make a special donation to the Militant and Perspectiva Mundial. We welcome any additional contributions for any occasion, and from any partisan of the socialist press who may have forgotten to send in their check. Our address is 410 West Street, New York, NY 10014. A special thanks to the 100--spread the spirit and commitment even more widely.
