Pathfinder Fund hits 110 percent!
 
BY MICHAEL ITALIE  
The strong finish in the international campaign to raise $105,000 for the Pathfinder Fund has continued past the November 17 deadline. Last week’s Militant reported the victory in surpassing the goal with more than $107,000 raised.

As the chart on this page shows, supporters of Pathfinder have now turned in a total of more than $115,000--almost 110 percent of the goal!

The funds raised are necessary to ensure the continued production of Pathfinder’s arsenal of books on revolutionary, working-class politics.

Contributions raised in the 11-week drive are also critical for new books being published to meet the needs of working people in struggle, including October 1962: The ‘Missile’ Crisis as Seen from Cuba, by Tomás Diez Acosta, and Malcolm X Talks to Young People in both English and Spanish. In the coming months Pathfinder will also produce editions of The Changing Face of U.S. Politics in French and Spanish, and a new issue of the Marxist magazine New International.

The revolutionary books Pathfinder Press publishes are currently on display at the Guadalajara International Book Fair in Mexico, the largest of its kind in Latin America, and at the congress of the Continental Organization of Latin American and Caribbean Students (OCLAE), also taking place in Guadalajara.  
 
Final collection
With this victory in hand, supporters of Pathfinder now have a final mopping-up operation to carry out. There are still almost $3,000 in pledges made across the United States and internationally that are yet to be collected. Collecting all these remaining pledges and sending them in will be the finishing touch to a job well done.

Contributions to the fund can be made out to Pathfinder and mailed to the Militant, 410 West Street, New York, NY 10014.
