New ‘Militant’ distributors pitch
in on SWP Party-Building Fund

Nearly $18,000 has been sent in through the third week of the fall Socialist Workers Party fund drive. The pace of contributions stepped up during the past week, but is not yet at the level needed to reach the national goal by the Dec. 23 deadline.

As part of making local goals, supporters of the party are zeroing in on political opportunities to expand the number of first-time contributors.

In Yakima, Wash., one of two workers who have taken a local goal for the Militant subscription campaign—starting with 10 and recently raised to 15—contributed $20 to the fund. “He told me he was glad to help,” said SWP leader Mary Martin from Seattle.

Clay Dennison, director of the fund-raising effort in Seattle, made an announcement at a Nov. 16 Militant Labor Forum that discussed the recent U.S. presidential elections. Ten people responded by making pledges or payments. Seattle has taken a goal of winning five first-time contributors.

Militant sales teams from New York received $5 in contributions from several workers in Brooklyn and Poughkeepsie while going door to door Nov. 18. Two participants in a demonstration in New York City against Israel’s bombing of Gaza that same afternoon gave $5 each.

The SWP is a revolutionary working-class party. It depends on regular contributions from workers and young people who support its work.

Contributions can be sent to the SWP address nearest you or directly to the SWP National Office at 306 W. 37th St., 10th floor, NY, NY 10018.

Susan LaMont is director of the 2012 SWP Party-Building Fund.
