Workers contribute to ‘Militant,’
a newspaper published for them

BY LEA SHERMAN
Unlike the bosses’ press, which rakes in revenue from capitalist advertising, the Militant depends on contributions from working people, in whose interests it is published. As working class resistance to the bosses’ assaults has grown, increasing numbers of workers see the Militant as their own and are helping to maintain it by contributing to the Militant Fighting Fund.

A retired high school teacher in Lincoln, Neb., recently contributed $20 to the fund after giving a presentation at a local bookstore based on an article published in the April 30 issue of the Militant titled “‘Recovery’=Work Harder, Longer for Less Pay,” reported Joe Swanson, who organizes the fighting fund there.

Swanson said supporters of the paper are calling every subscriber. “We received contributions from students and workers ranging from $1 to $50.”

All contributions received by June 11 count towards the goal.

To contribute, contact distributors listed on page 5 or send a check, made out to the Militant, to: The Militant, 306 W. 37th St., 10th floor, New York, NY 10018.
