Vol. 73/No. 36      September 21, 2009

The Militant is launching an eight-week international campaign to win 2,100 new or long-term subscribers. The drive begins September 12 and runs through November 10.

Working people and youth who are looking for answers in the face of the worst economic crisis since the 1930s will find that the Militant is indispensable.

Defenders of a woman’s right to choose abortion; opponents of the death penalty and police brutality; participants in union-organizing drives and contract fights; working people and youth opposing cutbacks in social services and education; protesters against the U.S-led war in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan; supporters of legalizing undocumented workers—all those who are participating in struggles in the interest of the vast majority today need the Militant, a socialist newsweekly that does not claim to be neutral. The Militant takes sides, the side of working people and the oppressed across the globe.

The Militant is the only paper that explains the consequences for toilers of the economic crisis and why the imperialist rulers are forced to expand their wars around the world. It explains why the only way working people can stop imperialism’s march towards fascism and war is to take political power out of the hands of the capitalist class.

The Militant will report on the key issues facing workers and farmers. We will also report on the election campaigns of Socialist Workers Party and Communist League candidates for public office and the activities of the Young Socialists.

As part of the circulation campaign, anyone subscribing to the Militant can purchase several books, pamphlets, and magazines at a substantial discount: Volumes 10 and 14 of New International, a magazine of Marxist politics and theory, for just $10 each; and 50 percent off Problems of Women’s Liberation, The Working Class and the Transformation of Learning, and Cuba and the Coming American Revolution, published by Pathfinder Press. The Militant will run reviews and excerpts from these titles over the course of the subscription campaign.

New International no. 10 features the articles “Imperialism’s March Toward Fascism and War” by Jack Barnes and “What the 1987 Stock Market Crash Foretold.” No. 14 features “Revolution, Internationalism, and Socialism: The Last Year of Malcolm X.”

You can help the Militant expand its readership: sign up your coworkers, classmates, friends, and relatives. Renew your subscription so that you don’t miss a single issue. Send subscriptions with a check or money order to the Militant at 307 W. 36th Street, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10018. You can join other supporters of the Militant in this effort by contacting a distributor nearest you listed on page 8.

Let us know what you think about the paper, questions you have on articles, or suggestions for future coverage. Or if you know of a union struggle, abortion clinic defense, immigrant rights march, campus meeting, or other protest actions where you would like Militant distributors to be involved, let us know that too.

In solidarity,
