The political content and proletarian spirit of the letters shows the strength of the Cuban revolution, the determination of the people of that country to stand up to the threats and assaults from Washington, and why U.S. imperialism has been unable to overturn the historic gains workers and farmers in Cuba have conquered since 1959.

The letter below from a worker behind bars in Connecticut, is another example of the need for the Militant/Perspectiva Mundial Prisoners' Fund. The fund makes it possible to send individual copies of the two socialist periodicals to prisoners who request them, and to provide a limited number of subscriptions at a sharply reduced rate. As long as there are funds available a prisoner can buy a six-month subscription to the Militant for $6 and a one-year subscription for $12. PM offers a six-month subscription for $3 and a one-year subscription to prisoners for $6.

The Militant finds its way into the hands of many workers incarcerated in capitalism's jails. Any contribution, large or small, helps make sure the Militant and PM can continue reaching working people behind prison walls.

Our current $50,000 fund drive goes toward the regular ongoing expenses of publishing the two periodicals. Donations to the Prisoners Fund are still needed. The more contributions received, the more subscriptions we are able to send out at sharply discounted rates.

Please send a check or money order, earmarked "Prisoners' Fund," to: The Militant, 410 West St., New York, N.Y. 10014.
