At the end of the first week, 34 Militant subscription renewals and four for Perspectiva Mundial have been collected. This is considerably short of the pace of 80 Militant and 20 PM renewals needed each week to make the goal.

Distributors of the socialist press will have to redouble their efforts to meet the challenge over the next three weeks. A weekly rhythm of contacting subscribers to renew their expired—or soon-to-expire—subscriptions will be needed to make the campaign a success. House visits are often useful to further political discussion and collect money for subscription renewals. These visits can also be a way to distribute socialist books and pamphlets by Pathfinder Press and other literature.

Socialist workers in factories, mines, and mills are encouraged to set goals for renewals from co-workers. Those participating in the campaign should send in reports and anecdotes to the Militant to keep readers informed of the campaign’s progress over the next few weeks.
