Vol. 76/No. 41      November 12, 2012

The SWP depends on the contributions of workers, young people and other supporters to fund its work. The goal for the SWP Party-Building Fund, which is organized once a year, started at $95,000. Contributors in local areas have already decided on a higher national goal by pledging quotas that total $99,900. Based on that response, we are raising the total goal to $100,000—and can look forward to raising even more.

Supporters are appealing for contributions through letters, individual discussions and special Militant Labor Forums that highlight the fund.

A key aspect of the effort, and one measure of its success, will be taking advantage of the political openings in the working class to win more first-time contributors than in recent years. Reaching out as broadly as possible to win financial support for the party will be integrated into the door-to-door sales of the Militant that readers, including SWP members, are organizing in working-class communities around the country.

Fund supporters in New York have taken a goal of winning 50 new contributors, as part of their effort to raise $20,000 for the national effort. They are following Miami fund supporters’ example, who set a goal of winning 15 new contributors in the course of the drive.

Contributions can be sent to the SWP address nearest you (see page 7) or directly to the SWP National Office at 306 W. 37th St., 10th floor, NY, NY 10018.

Susan LaMont is director of the 2012 SWP Party-Building Fund.
