$17,500 needed by April 18
for spring ‘Militant’ fund drive

BY PAUL PEDERSON
April 11—Militant supporters in nine U.S. cities, and in Australia, France, New Zealand, and Sweden, have sent in $7,615 for the paper's fund drive so far. This is about $5,000 short of the $12,500 needed weekly to meet the $100,000 international goal by the end of May.

"We are appealing to all our readers to help us raise another $17,500 by Wednesday, April 18, to get the fund on track by the end of week two," said Militant editor Argiris Malapanis. "The funds are needed now."

Militant reporters—including fund director Olympia Newton—are now in Caracas covering an international women's conference, he noted. At the end of the month, another reporting team will be going to Cuba.

"The Militant depends on donations from workers, farmers, students—from all its readers—to pay for these trips and help cover operating expenses such as printing and shipping," Malapanis said.

As progress is made in the fund, "We are encouraging Militant supporters everywhere to consider increasing their quotas," Malapanis said. Local quotas now add up to just below $94,000—some $6,000 short of the international goal.

Checks should be made out to The Militant, earmarked "Fund Drive," and sent to 306 West 37th St., 10th Floor, New York, NY 10018.
