The fund will allow the party to respond to political developments in the working class—including the walkouts at Northwest Airlines and the effort by the Teamsters to organize truck drivers at the Port of Miami and elsewhere. It will also enable the party to maintain a professional national center in New York City and have the resources to collaborate with sister parties in other countries.

At the September 11 public meeting in New York where the fund was launched, those present contributed nearly $5,000 and pledged another $24,000. Organizing on a weekly basis to collect and send in funds already pledged, as well as winning new pledges and donations, is key to the success of the drive. Public meetings to raise money for the fund organized in the first half of the campaign can help to politically reach out and secure additional pledges.

Adjacent is the first chart of the fund. It reports the local quotas adopted across the United States. All funds received by Saturday of each week will be counted for the chart. Checks or money orders should be made out to the SWP and sent in as they are collected to the party’s national office at 306 W. 37th St., 10th floor, New York, NY 10018.
