Over the last several weeks, supporters in many cities held spirited fund-raising events to help put the drive over its $100,000 goal. In Vancouver, British Columbia, 20 people attending a meeting and a barbecue generously contributed to the fund, putting supporters in that city over the top. The program discussed a number of struggles in the area, including the leadership being taken by immigrant workers in strikes and union organizing drives.

Pledges climbed to $8,385 in Seattle at an event and reception that drew a packed house of 35 to the new Pathfinder bookstore, including several young people from Olympia, Washington.

Supporters in Birmingham, Alabama, went over their goal following a June 2 program at the Pathfinder bookstore. One of the speakers was Justin Hovey, a member of the Young Socialists in Tuscaloosa. Two students from the University of Alabama arrived after the meeting and one decided to go to the March and Rally for Workers’ Rights in Columbia, South Carolina, the following weekend.

In Atlanta a program on "Cuba and the Coming American Revolution" featuring Militant staff writer Róger Calero led to a collection that put supporters there $500 over their goal. Linda Joyce reported on the work of the international Pathfinder Reprint Project, which scored a victory in May by getting 50 percent of all Pathfinder titles formatted in digital form.
