Vol. 76/No. 39      October 29, 2012

The Socialist Workers Party is appealing to class-conscious workers, farmers and youth to help finance its work by contributing to the revolutionary party’s annual fund drive.

The purpose of the party is to educate and organize the working class in order to establish a workers and farmers government, which will abolish capitalism in the U.S. and join in the worldwide struggle for socialism.

The drive runs from Oct. 20 to Dec. 23 with the goal of raising $95,000.

Through its distribution of the Militant newspaper along with books on revolutionary working-class politics and its election campaigns, the party is finding the openings among workers to discuss the roots of the economic crisis, class struggle developments around the world and a fighting road forward are greater than they have been in decades.

Future issues will report on the progress in the financial goal and in winning new layers of workers and youth to support the work of the revolutionary party.

A chart tracking the progress of the drive will be featured in the Militant starting next week. Contributions can be sent to the SWP office nearest you (see directory) or directly to the SWP National Office at 306 W. 37th St., 10th floor, New York, NY 10018.
