Workers are being hard hit by soaring prices for food, gas, rents, medical expenses and more. The Militant newspaper — which fighting workers and trade unionists depend on for clarity on politics and as a guide to action — is also being hit with rising printing costs and postage expenses for getting the paper to its subscribers and distributors. That’s why supporters of the paper in California launched a fund to contribute payouts from the state’s so-called Gas Tax Relief rebate to the paper.
The governor and the Democrat-controlled legislature claim the payouts relieve the “pain” Californians have felt at the gas pump. But $350 for an individual or $700 for a couple is a drop in the bucket compared to what workers have paid for gas! There is no better way to use this payment than sending it to the Militant.
