The Militant - October 13, 2014 -- Help communist movement in US, give to SWP Party-Building Fund

Vol. 78/No. 36 October 13, 2014

Help communist movement in US,
give to SWP Party-Building Fund

BY TED LEONARD
“A check for $2,200 is in the mail for contributions we garnered in the first week of the SWP Party-Building Fund drive. More to come,” wrote Joel Britton, from San Francisco. The Socialist Workers Party’s annual fund drive will help the party meet growing opportunities to join the labor resistance and social protests today and build the communist movement.

Members of the SWP and other readers of the Militant are using the socialist paper to spread solidarity with union battles; to back fights against cop brutality, attacks on women’s right to abortion and other protest actions; to learn from each other’s struggles and to discuss the need for a fighting, political course along the road to the conquest of political power by the working class.

As part of organizing a successful drive, SWP members will be working to win new contributors among readers of the Militant who see the need for a revolutionary workers party in the U.S.

The accompanying chart shows that after two weeks $4,795 has been collected for the fund so far, below the $25,000 needed to be on time to raise $100,000 by the Nov. 11 deadline. Establishing a weekly rhythm of collecting and sending in new pledges will be essential. Send your contributions to the SWP office nearest you (see directory on page 8) or directly to the SWP National Office at 306 W. 37th St., 13th floor, New York, NY 10018.
