To date we have sold 2,388 copies—which leaves 962 to go in the final three weeks. Achieving that by August 22 will depend on a two-pronged campaign. One is the day-to-day effort organized on the job, in workers districts, at plant gates, and at union and political actions.

The other is the work by more than 40 socialist campaigners, many of them Young Socialists, who are attending the August 7-15 world youth festival in Caracas, Venezuela. They initially took a goal to sell 250 copies of the magazine, but have taken 450 copies with them and will try to sell out.

“For the Young Socialists, the New Internationals are tools we use to explain how capitalism works and point to the working-class road to power,” said Mike Ortega, 19, a YS member from Newark, New Jersey. “In Caracas there will be thousands of young people, many looking for a revolutionary road forward. The NIs are the best weapons we have to show them that road and build the communist movement today.”

Please send in updates on your results by Tuesday. Let’s go all out to reach 3,350!
