int’l subscription campaign

The international campaign to win new readers to the Militant got a big boost at a meeting at the University of Texas-Pan American in the Rio Grande Valley where students and others discussed the Cuban Revolution. However, the drive is slightly behind at 694 subscriptions with four weeks left to reach the international goal of 2,150. Reaching out to working people and youth who are looking for a way to effectively fight back against the deepening capitalist crisis will be central to making the drive a success.

Twenty-seven subscriptions to the socialist newsweekly were sold during a weeklong effort to build the meeting at the University of Texas-Pan American, which discussed the Pathfinder book Our History Is Still Being Written: The Story of Three Chinese-Cuban Generals in the Cuban Revolution (see article on page 7).

“Several students came back to the literature table a second, third, or more times,” reports Jacquie Henderson. Militant supporters also sold 24 copies of revolutionary books, including four copies of Our History Is Still Being Written and five copies of Is Socialist Revolution in the U.S. Possible? The latter is on sale for only $4 with an introductory subscription.

While the drive is behind schedule, opportunities to bring the perspective of the working-class fight for power to those who need it will be plentiful in the coming period, as working people respond to the accelerating attacks on our standard of living and democratic rights. Actions to demand legalization for all immigrants that will take place across the United States on May 1 are an example of these struggles.

The Militant encourages working people to take part in this effort. To find out how you can help, contact or visit a local distributor listed on page 8.
