Vol. 71/No. 9      March 5, 2007

That leaves 104 to go to make the international goal of 500.

“On Saturday, seven workers in the Livingston area, where poultry workers waged a fight for union recognition and a contract, renewed,” reported Gerardo Sánchez from San Francisco. “A couple—one who had been a silver miner in Mexico and the other currently working in a fruit-packing plant—renewed their subscription and bought a copy of The First and Second Declarations of Havana. They welcomed us into their home and invited us to lunch the next time we visit.”

The book this worker bought is offered for half price, only $5, along with a Militant subscription renewal or new long-term sub. Other such specials include Cuba and the Coming American Revolution, also for $5; The Working Class and the Transformation of Learning: The Fraud of Education Reform under Capitalism, for $1; and the last two issues of the magazine New International for $25 together.

With 12 renewals over the weekend, supporters of the paper in San Francisco made their initial quota of 20, and decided to increase it by 10 for the remaining week of the drive.

Supporters of the paper in New York picked up another 11 subscriptions this week. At a house meeting in Harlem, a medical supply plant worker renewed her subscription for one year, bought The First and Second Declarations of Havana, and Cuba and the Coming American Revolution. She said she shows the paper around at work, and many of her coworkers ask her for it every week.

Follow this worker’s example. Renew your subscription, and convince others to sign up too.
