The Socialist Workers Party’s fall campaign to win 1,350 subscribers to the Militant, sell 1,350 books by party leaders and other revolutionaries and raise $140,000 for the SWP Party-Building Fund is off and running! We’re asking our readers to join in!
Communist League branches in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom will be participating in the book and subscription campaign, as will Militant readers around the world.
The Militant is campaigning to explain the key issues in the United Auto Workers strike against the Big Three and to win far-reaching solidarity. The strike takes place in the midst of an uptick in labor actions, a break with decades of defeats and stagnation. Getting the word out can help make a difference.
There is a step-up in the Militant’s circulation today as working people look for a road forward against today’s attacks from the bosses, their Democratic and Republican parties and their government. We have a chance this fall to take this further.
We are championing the Socialist Workers Party campaigns, for local offices this fall and for Senate and Congress in 2024. In the coming months, the SWP will launch its presidential ticket. These campaigns will address all the key questions facing working people and pose the need for a break with the bosses’ parties and to build our own party, a labor party based on the unions, that can fight to bring working people to power.
The fall campaigns will kick off Sept. 23 and run until after the fall elections. All subscriptions and books sold beginning on Labor Day will count.
Party supporters and Militant partisans will take the campaign to strike picket lines; protests around key international struggles, like the fight for an end to Washington’s economic war against Cuba; on workers’ doorsteps in cities and countryside alike; and in special opportunities like book fairs and other political events.
Since Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the largest land war in Europe since the second imperialist world war, capitalist governments throughout the world are seeking to bolster military alliances and increase their weaponry. This increases the danger of new wars and the threat of nuclear disaster.
Militant readers can join in introducing the paper and books to their co-workers, members of their union, neighbors and others they discuss union and political affairs with. And introduce them to the party’s campaigns, Militant Labor Forums and party members.
In today’s political circumstances, the SWP is looking to recruit and to grow.
The SWP Party Building Fund is crucial to help cover the basic operating expenses of the party — from its national headquarters to increased travel and opportunities for international collaboration.
