Vol. 77/No. 31      August 26, 2013

BY LOUIS MARTIN  
“I have to renew, I got a letter in the mail,” yelled a member of Local 1526 of the International Longshoremen’s Association Aug. 10 in the early morning on her way to a job at the port of Fort Lauderdale, as she passed a literature table set up by Militant supporters near the union hall.

Hundreds of subscriptions sold during the international spring campaign will expire in the coming weeks. If yours is among them, renew now!

“I truly appreciate receiving and learning from the Militant and would like to continue receiving it,” wrote a subscriber behind bars in Pennsylvania along with his renewal form.

(The Militant Prisoners’ Fund makes it possible for inmates to order subscriptions at a reduced rate of $6 for six months or free of charge for those with no means to pay. Contributions to the fund can be sent to the Militant address listed on page 2.)

When Alia Arif, a pharmacist from Manchester, England, renewed her Militant subscription for the third time, she said she had been passing along some of the Pathfinder Press books she bought for others to read.

“I gave the Working Class and the Transformation of Learning and Cuba and Angola: Fighting for Africa’s Freedom and Our Own to a coworker from Eritrea in East Africa,” a gesture he really appreciated, she said. These two books are among nine offered at reduced prices with a Militant subscription or renewal. (See ad on this page.)

Don’t miss an issue of the socialist paper published in the interests of working people. Don’t miss a week of its unique international coverage of workers’ struggles and its revolutionary working-class perspective on developments in world politics.

To renew, contact distributors in your area listed on page 10. Or send your money with a renewal form by mail — either the form sent to subscribers with their last three issues or the form printed each week at the bottom of page 2.

Supporters of the Militant who signed up subscribers during the spring drive are beginning to get back in touch with those they met to engage in political discussions, win as many as possible to become long-term readers and find those involved in, or interested in getting involved in, important struggles and other working-class political activity.

This follow-up is part and parcel of regular, systematic door-to-door sales of the socialist newsweekly and books on revolutionary politics.

Join the effort to expand the readership of the workers’ press and books by Pathfinder Press that chart a road forward for the world’s toilers, the great majority of humanity. Contact distributors in your area or the Militant at (212) 244-4899 or themilitant@mac.com.

And, if you haven’t yet, renew your subscription today!
