On September 10 the Militant’s brand-new Canon EOS 10 D digital camera was stolen along with three lenses at an event in New York covered by a Militant reporter. An appeal for contributions to replace this valuable equipment was launched three weeks ago.

In response to political developments in Venezuela, however, funds were borrowed to buy a camera and lens right away. A two-person team of Militant editor Argiris Malapanis and Carlos Cornejo from Vancouver, Canada, have been reporting from Venezuela since September 26, as readers can see from the firsthand coverage in this and last week’s issue. The accompanying photos were taken with the new camera equipment, which allows digital pictures to be downloaded directly and sent to the Militant’s office immediately by e-mail.

Contributions have already arrived or are being sent from supporters of the socialist newspaper in Miami, Boston; Tucson, Arizona; and North Carolina.

Please send your contribution, earmarked for the photo equipment fund, to the Militant at 152 W. 36th St. #401, New York, NY 10018.
