Vol. 75/No. 44      December 5, 2011

Cheryl Goetz from Atlanta writes that George Williams, a party supporter in Birmingham, Ala., sent, in addition to his own contribution, $30 from students he knows at Stillman College in Tuscaloosa and $20 from a couple of workers at a United Auto Workers-organized plant, and three subscriptions to the Militant.

From Lincoln, Neb., Joe Swanson writes that during a community festival and pot luck dinner organized by Occupy Lincoln activists on November 20, he was approached by a teacher at the University of Nebraska who had recently renewed his Militant subscription. Swanson says, “he told me he noticed Lincoln was on the Party-Building Fund scoreboard in the Militant and handed me a check for $50 and said to ‘Keep up the good work.’ I thought this was a notable example of how many subscribers regularly read the paper from cover to cover.”

From New York, Nancy Boyasko writes that $60 was received in contributions to the Party-Building Fund at the November 17 demonstration organized by labor unions and Occupy Wall Street and another $80 at the party’s tables at the Occupy camp at Zuccotti Park, as well as $21 from other street tables. A co-worker at an electronics factory where party members work also made a contribution, according to Boyasko.

As of November 21, $89,799 had been received, 90 percent of the $103,600 goal. Contributions can be sent to the SWP units in the “Look Us Up” listing. Those received in New York by November 28 will count toward the final total.
