Appreciation for ‘Militant’ is
reflected in fund contributions

Supporters of the Militant Fighting Fund have sent in almost $75,000 towards the $115,000 goal of the annual international drive. This leaves $40,000 to be sent into the Militant by June 3.

The fund complements the just-completed subscription drive. Both efforts are key to extending the reach of the socialist newsweekly.

Contributions are used for the operating expenses of the paper and reporting trips like the recent firsthand coverage from Ukraine, Egypt, Cuba, Lebanon, Mali and Burkina Faso.

On top of the chart this week is San Francisco. “Seventy readers of the Militant have made pledges toward going over our quota of $13,500,” said Willie Cotton, organizer of the fund in the Bay Area.

“I appreciate the articles on the struggle of working people in Ukraine and the paper’s ongoing support for a woman’s right to choose,” Bob Atwood from Redding, California, told San Francisco Militant supporters. He sent in a contribution when he renewed his subscription for a year.

To pitch in, contact distributors on page 8 or send a check or money order to the Militant, 306 W. 37th St., 13th Floor, New York, NY 10018-2482.
