MONTREAL—Militant articles translated into French will be posted on the Militant website starting July 5.

Since last fall, supporters of the Militant in Montreal and Paris have been translating on average one article from the paper per week.

In both France and Quebec these articles have been emailed to those who request it. In Quebec those signing up for the articles are also offered a number of French-language Pathfinder books at reduced prices. The articles have made it possible to introduce the politics of the Militant to French-speaking workers and provide a useful tool for building the communist movement.

While 37 percent of French-speakers in Quebec are reportedly bilingual, this percentage drops outside the Montreal region.

Among those receiving the articles are several of the 780 aluminum workers in Alma, Quebec, locked out by Rio Tinto Alcan since the beginning of the year. The translation of articles on their fight has helped build solidarity with this important struggle.

Posting these articles on the Militant website will make them available to French-speaking workers around the world, including in the U.S.
