Antiwar rallies in 12 cities helped keep the pace of the Militant subscription campaign strong this past week. More than 160 people subscribed at the actions.

The international effort has maintained a steady progress since the start. At the current rate the drive is on course to surpass 2,500 subs.

This week’s top seller was Jacquie Henderson from Houston with 10 subscriptions—eight of them at the New Orleans antiwar rally of 200.

Militant supporters in Atlanta and Carrollton, Georgia, sent teams to join antiwar rallies in Jonesboro, Tennessee; Smithfield, North Carolina; Orlando, Florida; and New Orleans.

Sara Lobman of Newark stayed in the top three for another week. She was the second-highest sub-getter with nine—seven of them at the New York peace march.

Harry D’Agostino, a student at Elizabeth Irwin High School in Manhattan, was one of 33 new subscribers at that action. He and a half-dozen friends attended a Militant Labor Forum later that night on “Africa, Oil, and Imperialism.”

“The problem is much deeper than Bush,” Nathan Railla, a student at Sonoma State University, said at the San Francisco rally. “Even if Gore is elected, we’ll be dealing with the same problems.”

“We had great sales today at a rally and march of 600 to protest antiterror raids and arrests of political activists,” reported Ruth Gray from Auckland, New Zealand. “We set up the table an hour before the march, selling 5 new subscriptions and 2 renewals mostly to participants as they arrived for the protest.”
