Party-Building Fund goes over top
with boost from new contributors!
 
BY SUSAN LAMONT  
As the scoreboard below shows, the fall Socialist Workers Party fund was a big success! Supporters from every area met or exceeded their quotas, sending in $104,078 by the Dec. 31 deadline.

During the nine-week drive, contributions came in from hundreds of workers, young people and others around the country. Supporters in many cities reported an increase in the number of contributors over previous funds, including those giving for the first time to aid the work of the communist movement. Many first-time contributors were new Militant subscribers, who learned about the Socialist Workers Party through door-to-door visits organized this fall by Militant distributors in working-class communities from coast to coast.

Donations ranged from a few to hundreds of dollars. Every one makes a difference. The SWP is a revolutionary workers party and depends entirely on the contributions of working people and others to finance its work.

The year ahead promises to be filled with opportunities to expand the reach of socialist propaganda to more and more working people, centered on door-to-door distribution of the Militant and the revolutionary books published by Pathfinder Press. This work is at the heart of the SWP’s party-building perspectives in response to the deepening crisis of the capitalist system and the class-struggle developments it fuels around the world.

Thanks to all for your contributions!

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