Collection pace picks up for
SWP Party-Building Fund
 
BY TONY LANE  
More than $12,000 came into the Socialist Workers Party Building Fund in the last week, the biggest collection so far and a step forward in the effort to reach the goal of $100,000 by Dec. 17. All but two local areas sent in checks.

San Francisco is on schedule this week with $5,622 collected. “We have $11,000 pledged and are closing in on our $13,000 quota,” said Joel Britton, who helps lead the drive there.

John Hawkins from Chicago reports that half of the eight new contributors to the party there were met while selling the Militant door to door. “When you described the kind of paper you were promoting I answered,” John Kirkpatrick, a teacher, told Militant distributors. In addition to donating to the party fund, Kirkpatrick signed up for a Militant subscription and bought three Pathfinder books on special — The Changing Face of U.S. Politics; Malcolm X, Black Liberation, and the Road to Workers Power; and The Cuban Five: Who They Are, Why They Were Framed, Why They Should Be Free.

To be reflected on the weekly scoreboard payments need to reach the SWP National Office by Monday.

Militant readers and supporters can send contributions to the fund to the location nearest you listed on page 8 or directly to the SWP National Office at 306 W. 37th St., 10th floor, New York, NY 10018.
