Most areas ahead in 2nd week
of int’l propaganda campaign
 
BY PAUL MAILHOT  
Supporters of the Militant are getting a good response to the campaign to sell thousands of copies of the book Malcolm X, Black Liberation, and the Road to Workers Power by Jack Barnes, along with 2,000 subscriptions to the paper. After the second week of the eight-week drive, most areas are ahead of schedule.

Unlike previous drives, the effort this spring centers on using the Workers Power book to engage in a discussion with workers and young people about why the dictatorship of capital—along with its economic crises, wars, myriad forms of discrimination, and repression—must be replaced by the working class taking power. Only through the exercise of state power will working people be able to begin the fight to reorganize society free of the scourges produced by the capitalist system, which operates to maximize profits at the expense of the great majority of humanity.

Through this discussion about what Malcolm X, Black Liberation, and the Road to Workers Power presents, many workers and young people are also attracted to the weekly coverage of working-class fights and the socialist perspective presented in the Militant.

Every week distributors of the Militant are joining working-class actions to defend unions, protest cuts in social services, fight layoffs, support abortion rights, or combat racist discrimination. At these actions they are introducing fellow fighters to the Workers Power book and the Militant. Readers of the paper are encouraged to join this effort.
