Vol. 79/No. 35      October 5, 2015

The fund is decisive for the party’s work — international collaboration, like participation in the Asia-Pacific Conference in Solidarity with Cuba in Vietnam; guiding the party’s work building solidarity with locked-out Steelworkers at ATI and other workers fighting boss attacks; expanding support for rail workers Tom Harding and Richard Labrie in Quebec; building actions against cop abuse and murders from Charleston, South Carolina, to Baltimore; and more.

Area quotas are currently some $10,000 short of the goal. Over the last week, I raised with party leaders across the country that many quotas don’t jibe with the political opportunities. The deepening capitalist crisis, which has spawned boss assaults against wages and working conditions and government attacks on social and political rights, is fueling labor resistance, social struggles and greater interest in the party. There is growing disgust with the moral and political standing of the capitalist ruling families.

“We will discuss whether we can set a higher target based on the political openings and on the party’s needs,” Joel Britton from Oakland, California, wrote when he sent in their latest check.

We meet more and more combatants who are interested in the party and value their collaboration with it. They will want to help finance the party’s work.

Join us in making the drive in full and on time. Make as generous a contribution as you can. And tune in next week to see our progress in getting the goals over $100,000.

John Studer is the 2015 fund drive director.
