“We thank the hundreds of workers, students, farmers, and others who contributed generously to the fund,” said Militant editor Argiris Malapanis. “The Militant and Perspectiva Mundial could not be produced and circulated without financial support from working people who use these publications not just for the facts they provide but as organizing tools.”

The money will help meet basic operating expenses—like rent, printing and shipping costs, and utilities—and make it possible for the revolutionary periodicals to send reporters to cover developments in the class struggle around the world.

This year the funds will also help the Militant maintain a bureau in Washington, D.C. This move will strengthen the paper’s ability to respond to broader developments in the U.S. South. Starting with the next issue, articles by Sam Manuel, the Militant’s Washington, D.C. bureau chief, will be largely datelined from the U.S. capital as he begins to work from the publication’s new office at the Pathfinder bookstore there.

Of the 33 areas around the world where socialists took goals, 29 went over the top. Everyone met their goal. About $1,000 remains in outstanding pledges, which should be mailed to the Militant.
