Vol. 72/No. 46      November 24, 2008

Steady weekly contributions from supporters of the communist movement will be needed to close the gap and make this fund a success.

Fund organizers in Los Angeles raised their goal by $700 in response to a new round of pledges. The Twin Cities branch has increased its quota a second time. Nationally, total goals now stand $600 above the $90,000 target.

Meetings celebrating the party’s unbroken continuity took place in Boston; Newark, New Jersey; and Los Angeles this week to celebrate the party’s history and to raise more of the necessary funds needed to respond to the revolutionary opportunities ahead.

In Newark, John Studer, a leader of the Socialist Workers Party in Philadelphia, spoke on “Confronting Today’s Economic Crisis: Lessons from 80 years of building a revolutionary party.” Willie Campoverde, of the Newark Laborers Association and president of the Residents of Naranjal in New Jersey, and Moses Williams, retired member of National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees Local 1199J, both gave remarks to the meeting.

Greetings were read from Moisés Mory, a unionist and former president of United Steelworkers of America Local 13742 in New Jersey. Mory, who has been jailed since 2004, is fighting deportation. “I salute the Socialist Workers Party on its 80th anniversary of tireless working-class struggle in this country,” he wrote. “At all times keeping within the working-class framework, the total victory gets closer and closer… . This is our opportunity, and we have to take advantage of it until the final victory.”
