May Day demonstrators will be
drawn to communist literature
 
BY BEN JOYCE  
Demonstrations for immigrant rights taking place in cities across the country on and leading up to May 1 will provide a boost to the campaign to sell and discuss Malcolm X, Black Liberation, and the Road to Workers Power and expand the Militant’s readership.

At the May 1 mobilizations by working people, students, and others demanding legalization for undocumented workers, we will find fighters attracted to a communist perspective.

With 1,183 Workers Power books and 1,156 Militant subscriptions sold so far, the international effort is slightly behind schedule.

In a number of areas, supporters of the Militant reported gains this week. In Philadelphia, seven copies of the new book by Jack Barnes were sold along with four subscriptions to the paper during a book festival sponsored by the Free Library of Philadelphia. Most of the sales were to Black workers or youth.

In the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens, in New York City, a team of Militant supporters sold three copies of the Workers Power book and two subscriptions in about an hour.

With three weeks left in the drive, organizers will be redoubling our efforts to make sure the quotas are reached in full and on time. Join us! To help get a communist perspective into the hands of those who need it, contact your nearest Militant distributor, listed on page 5.
