‘Militant’ launches fund drive
 
BY SAM MANUEL  
WASHINGTON—The Militant is launching an eight-week drive to raise $100,000 to support the socialist newsweekly. The campaign begins September 29 and ends November 25.

Contributions from its readers make it possible for the Militant to cover struggles by working people—from reporting on the fight by immigrants for legalization, to covering the massive September 20 march and rally in Jena, Louisiana, in support of the Jena Six.

The funds raised will help to send reporting teams to the Venezuela International Book Fair this coming November and to the Havana Book Fair early next year. Funds are needed now to help the paper cover printing, shipping, rent, and other expenses.

With seven areas yet to report their quotas, the total pledged currently falls $30,000 short of the goal.

Supporters in some areas are already making plans to hold Militant fund events early in the drive. Reports on these and other events should be sent to the Militant each week.

To make a contribution, contact local distributors listed on page 8 or send checks payable to the Militant to the address listed on page 2.
