Off and running in the $100,000 SWP 2016
Party-Building Fund

 
BY EMMA JOHNSON
Contributions have started to come in to the Socialist Workers Party-Building Fund. The goal is to raise $100,000 in full and on time by Dec. 7.

The annual fund is necessary to cover the long-term work of a professional communist party, self-financed from its base in the working class. It’s an essential component of meeting the party’s annual budget, along with the weekly voluntary contributions from party members.

“The check for the first payment of $4,000 is on its way,” reports John Studer, organizer of the party in New York. “More than $9,000 has been pledged towards our goal of $22,500. Over the coming weeks SWP members will contact long-time and new supporters of the party’s political work in New England, New Jersey and New York to go over the top.”

Party supporters in Oakland are also off to a good start, sending in $3,590 towards their goal of $15,000.

To join the effort, contact the party branch in your area, listed on page 8.
