WASHINGTON, October 9—Supporters of the Militant are behind schedule in an eight-week campaign to raise $100,000 for the socialist paper. Heading into the second week, the pace of sending in contributions needs to pick up.

In the coming weeks, supporters of the paper in several cities will host public meetings as part of the fund ef fort. These meetings take up a range of the political developments reported in the paper.

Cindy Jaquith and Ma’mud Shirvani have written extensively for the Militant on Washington’s campaign of hostility against Iran. Jaquith will speak at meetings in Seattle, Los Angeles, and New York, and Shirvani will speak in Newark, New Jersey, at forums titled “U.S. Hands Off Iran!” Sam Manuel and Jacob Perasso participated in the September 20 march and rally of tens of thousands in Jena, Louisiana, demanding justice for the Jena Six. Manuel will speak in Chicago, and Perasso will speak in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Des Moines, Iowa, on the fight for Black rights.

This week the Militant received contributions from seven areas totaling $4,877—about $8,000 short of what’s needed.

Contributions cover printing, shipping, rent, and other regular expenses, as well as international reporting teams.

To donate, contact local distributors listed on p. 8, or send checks payable to the Militant to the address listed on p. 2.

The fund ends November 25.
