Socialist Workers Party fund drive
set to exceed $100,000 in final week
 
BY TONY LANE  
With one more week to go in the Socialist Workers Party $100,000 Party-Building Fund, local areas are focused on getting the final payments in. Just over $17,100 came in this week, bringing the total to $96,123.

Three areas, Lincoln, Philadelphia and Seattle, have already met their quotas for the fund, and many others areas are closing in fast.

As well as organizing to collect on pledges, many areas have been working to expand the number of contributors as they take steps to meet their goal.

Dean Hazlewood reports from Miami that “we got the pledges to make our quota of $3,000 by reaching out broadly. We went over our goal of involving 15 first-time contributors. At least eight longshore workers made contributions when we set up tables with the Militant and Pathfinder books at roll call outside union halls in Fort Lauderdale and Miami. This brought in over $200. We also gained another $40 from workers who kicked in an extra dollar or two as we were selling the Militant door to door.”

A final chart will be run in the next issue. Send contributions to the fund to the SWP office nearest you (see directory on page 8) or directly to the SWP National Office at 306 W. 37th St., 10th floor, New York, NY 10018.
