May Day week campaign can boost sub drive

The Militant’s eight-week campaign to win 2,400 new readers is behind schedule in its third week. Supporters of the paper around the world have signed up 780 new readers so far. This is more than 100 short of where we need to be.

The subscription campaign will get a much-needed boost as supporters of the paper across the United States organize with their coworkers to take off work and march for the rights of immigrants on May Day.

As an added bonus, the brand-new pamphlet Is Socialist Revolution in the U.S. Possible? will be available for just $1 with a Militant subscription. The offer runs from April 28 to May 5, for a solid week of campaigning before and after the May Day mobilizations.

The cover of the pamphlet in English and Spanish features an attractive photo of one of the big May Day demonstrations. The pamphlet is centered on the remarks by Socialist Workers Party National Committee member Mary-Alice Waters at a debate at the Venezuela International Book Fair last November. It explains how revolutions come about and why a revolution in the United States is possible and inevitable. It is a great complement to the working-class mobilizations that will take place on May Day, but it will also be of interest to truckers who are planning further protests around fuel prices the same week, and all working people.

To get involved in the subscription effort and the May Day week of campaigning, contact local distributors listed on page 8.
