These are among the nearly 2,300 new Militant subscribers. With two weeks to go in a circulation drive with results not seen in many years, we urge all readers to pitch in to surpass the international quota of 3,000 by the November 20 deadline.

This is the appropriate response to the new political period we have entered. Millions perceive a future of sharpening crises marked by economic depression, wars, and the class conflicts these conditions generate. The rulers of the United States and other imperialist countries are unable to find an alternative to overcome this course. As a result, the ruling propertied families face a crisis of confidence. Bourgeois politics is increasingly marked by factionalism, demagogy, instability, and coarsening of the discourse of capitalist politicians. All these are elements of the new situation that’s politicizing growing layers of the working class and its allies around the world.

As the letters column below indicates, many readers appreciate the Militant’s weekly news and analysis of world politics—not just the labor coverage but also the reports from Equatorial Guinea, the U.S. Gulf Coast, and more.

This is the time to go back to every individual and each group of workers, farmers, students, and others who have shown such interest and ask them to subscribe and help sign up others. Sign up friends, relatives, acquaintances, co-workers, and fellow students to get the Militant every week. Build on regular sales at gates of factories where socialists and other militants work by expanding the number of those who subscribe to the paper. Join other distributors in subbing through literature tables on the street or door-to-door in workers districts, rural areas, and campuses. Approach all those who backed Socialist Workers Party candidates in the recent U.S. elections and ask them to subscribe. In short, let’s not leave any stone unturned in tapping all the potential to significantly expand the Militant’s readership.

The truth must not only be the truth, it must also be told, Cuban president Fidel Castro once said. And to be told, it’s not enough to print it. It has to be distributed.

Help get the Militant regularly into the hands of the thousands seeking the facts and political clarity.
