Farley sent a follow-up note a day later. “Another co-worker at the same plant renewed her subscription three weeks ago,” Farley said. “She attended a Militant Labor Forum with Ma’mud Shirvani speaking on the Middle East and capitalism’s world disorder. Last Sunday she joined a door-to-door subbing team to respond to Washington’s stepped-up threats against Korea.”

Other reports like these are coming in, showing that campaigning with last week’s Militant has begun to net new readers interested in solidarizing with the people of Korea who confront onerous economic and military pressures by U.S. imperialism.

“We sold three subs in a working-class district off tables with big signs saying, ‘U.S. Hands Off Korea!,’” said Jacquie Henderson, a Militant supporter in Houston.

“We sold another four at the Librarians of Color convention in Dallas, along with 17 copies of the Militant and 23 books and pamphlets on revolutionary working-class politics. Part of that were five copies of Our History Is Still Being Written (see article on p. 2). Each new Militant reader took the deal of the pamphlet The Working Class and the Transformation of Learning: The Fraud of ‘Education Reform’ Under Capitalism at the special price of $1 with a subscription.”

“We sold seven subscriptions on the basis of campaigning for ‘U.S. Hands Off Korea!’” wrote Cecelia Moriarity, a Militant supporter in Seattle. “Two longshoremen, one worker at Boeing, and four other workers in the Yakima valley were among those who signed up.”

Let’s keep this up! The special sales effort Militant distributors started October 14 can be extended using this issue, as Washington and its allies are taking further steps to isolate and squeeze north Korea. Getting the Militant around, including at picket lines outside Goodyear plants, can also help win solidarity with the strike by 15,000 Steelworkers in North America.
