From Canada Bev Bernardo reported that on April 26 they held a meeting on “Cuba and the Coming Revolution in North America” in Vancouver featuring Joe Young. “There were 22 people at the meeting, including two we met at tables that day and one at a meeting on Cuba the night before.” Some $1,500 was raised at the event.

A banquet and program in northeast Atlanta featured Ellie Garcia, the Socialist Workers candidate for U.S. Senate in Georgia, and Freddy Huinil, a member of Cajola Unidos en Solidaridad por Guatemala.

“The Militant reports on the successes of our class,” Huinil told the meeting. “The recent meeting about Our History Is Still Being Written in Miami was a victory for our class,’” he said, referring to an April 6 meeting about the book on three Chinese Cuban generals in the Cuban Revolution.

More than $700 was collected at the Atlanta meeting, including $210 from three workers who recently began campaigning with the paper.
