Vol. 72/No. 19      May 12, 2008

A highlight of this weekend’s efforts was campaigning with the new Pathfinder pamphlet Is Socialist Revolution in the U.S. Possible?, which is available for just $1 with any subscription.

“We started campaigning with the new pamphlet Friday night at a Militant Labor Forum. The next day we went to the Little Haiti post office, an antiwar rally organized by high school students, the taxi-waiting area at the Miami airport, and the Bolivarian Circle meeting,” reported Maggie Trowe, a garment worker in Miami, April 27. “Today we went to truck stops and back to the cab drivers.”

Supporters of the paper in that city sold 12 subscriptions and 19 copies of the pamphlet over the weekend. In order to win new subscribers in the coming week, Militant supporters in Miami will participate in a tomato pickers’ rally demanding piece rate increases, set up literature tables in the Black community, and march for legalization of immigrants.

Supporters of the paper in Los Angeles got a big boost this weekend at the L.A. Times Book Festival, where they sold 42 copies of the new pamphlet, 31 of them with subscriptions.

In Atlanta, supporters of the paper picked up 21 subscriptions by going door-to-door over the weekend, with 13 of the new readers also getting a copy of the pamphlet.

The special offer on Is Socialist Revolution in the U.S. Possible? expires May 5.
