Party-Building Fund Brings Over $97,300  

BY ESTELLE DEBATES
NEW YORK - Supporters of the Socialist Workers 1999 Party- Building Fund collected $97,332 - far surpassing the projected goal of raising $75,000! Late contributions from around the country continued to arrive after the June 15 deadline and even after the final figures were put together for the chart.

The contributions of hundreds of people - workers, farmers, and youth - help cover expenses as the Socialist Workers Party responds to the political changes in the world and the rise of resistance among workers and farmers fighting the employers and their governments in the United States and other countries. Several individuals sent notes with their contributions expressing their appreciation of initiatives like the Militant reporting team to Yugoslavia in April and May.

Over the past months socialist workers have also stepped up activity in the United States by getting out to struggles as they unfold. Teams continue to fan across the country - from North Carolina to South Dakota - to join these fights, to be a part of deepening solidarity, and to exchange ideas and experiences. Participants in these teams have been inviting fighting workers and farmers to be a part of an Active Workers Conference in Oberlin, Ohio, August 5-7.

Contributors to the fund are encouraged to join one of the caravans to Ohio that are being organized throughout the country. To do so, contact SWP organizing centers listed on page 8.
