‘I learn a lot from Militant,’
says contributor
 
BY LEA SHERMAN  
More than $100,000 has been sent in for the Militant Fighting Fund as the drive to raise $120,000 to cover the paper’s operating expenses enters its final week. Supporters of the Militant are poised to bring the drive home.

“I support the Militant because I’ve learned a lot from it about struggles that other news sources don’t cover. In the Militant international news about other workers’ actions is great,” said Alisvan Montano, a long-term subscriber. He is one of seven workers at an industrial kitchen near the San Francisco airport who have contributed to the effort.

Jacquie Henderson reported that she was sending an envelope with $460 in contributions, bringing Houston’s total to $4,271, several hundred dollars over their $4,000 goal.

“Several readers told us they had been following the progress of the drive in the pages of the paper,” Henderson said. “They noticed we were a bit short in Houston and in the international total and wanted to help the drive go over the top.”

All contributions sent in by June 11 will be counted toward the goal. Contact distributors of the Militant listed on page 8, or send a check or money order, made out to the Militant to: The Militant, 306 W. 37th St., 10th floor, New York, NY 10018.
