SWP party-building fund for
$98,000 begins on schedule
 
BY LAURA GARZA  
“We have set a larger goal than we have raised in a number of years,” said Steve Warshell, the director of the party-building fund for the Socialist Workers Party in Houston.

The fund runs from September 11 to November 9 with a goal of raising $98,000 in contributions from people who want to aid the work of the SWP. After one week the national fund campaign is on target with more than $12,600 sent in.

“We are confident many new people, including new coworkers, are going to contribute this time," Warshell said.

He said organizers of the fund in Houston will be speaking to those who have been introduced to the party and are reading the Militant and bought the book Malcolm X, Black Liberation, and the Road to Workers Power, by Jack Barnes.

The fall campaign to raise $98,000 for the work of the SWP is an opportunity to reach out broadly to win support for the party. All contributions, small and large, are important. At an SWP campaign table in the New York City neighborhood of Harlem last weekend, a woman who already had a subscription to the Militant decided to purchase the Workers Power book. She then donated $5 to the fund.

Below is a list of fund-raising meetings featuring leaders of the party speaking on world politics and openings to build the SWP. If you'd like to contribute, see page 10 for a local address, or send a check or money order to SWP, 306 W. 37th St., New York, NY, 10018.
