WASHINGTON—As we start the first week of a campaign to raise $100,000 to fund the Militant, five new areas have made pledges—now at $96,925. The campaign began September 29 and ends November 25.

The eight-week fund drive coincides with a seven-week campaign to win 2,300 new subscribers to the socialist newsweekly. Combining the fund campaign with the effort to win new readers can maximize contributions to the paper.

A member of the Service Employees International Union contributed $10 to the fund after stopping at the Pathfinder booth at the Baltimore Book Fair, reports Janice Lynn from Washington, D.C. Volunteers at the booth sold 71 titles and 15 subscriptions to the Militant.

Socialist workers sold 8 subscriptions, 39 single copies of the Militant, and 6 Pathfinder titles off a table in Bedford Stuyvesant, a working-class Black neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York, reports Dan Fein. Two people also dropped contributions to the fund in a collection can on the table. The New York Militant Labor Forum hall features a large chart showing weekly progress in the fund campaign, including a donation slot and contribution envelopes.

International pledges remain $3,075 short of the goal.

To make a contribution, contact local distributors listed on page 8 or send checks payable to the Militant at the address listed on page 2.
