‘Militant’ depends on
contributions from workers
 
BY LEA SHERMAN  
“The Militant is an important paper for workers to read,” Rafael Soto, a janitor and member of SEIU Local 615, told a meeting organized to support the Militant Fighting Fund in Boston May 19. He first subscribed at a labor rally organized by the local. “We need to learn about what is going on with other workers and educate ourselves.”

Also on the platform was Louis Martin, an editorial volunteer for the Militant. He spoke on “Our Politics Start With the World.”

Soto brought two subscriptions he had sold to coworkers. The week before the fund event he attended a class on the recently released Pathfinder Press book Women in Cuba: The Making of a Revolution Within the Revolution. After the class he joined a discussion with other participants on the effort to win new subscribers.

He decided to take several subscription forms and copies of the Militant to show to his coworkers. “I also want to show it to some people who ride the bus with me,” he said when he turned in the subscriptions he had sold.

Internationally $69,012 has been sent in so far, 58 percent of the goal.

We have total pledges of $119,770, only $230 short of the $120,000 goal and call on our readers to make up the difference.

To contribute, contact distributors listed on page 8, or send a check made out to the Militant to: The Militant, 306 W. 37th St., 10th floor, New York, NY 10018.
