Fund contributors: ‘SWP brings
int’l working-class perspective’
 
BY SUSAN LAMONT  
Heading into the eighth week of the $100,000 Socialist Workers Party fund, supporters in four areas are ahead of schedule and in two others close behind, reflecting stepped-up attention to making every local quota in the national fund. So far, $68,584 has come in.

The number of first-time contributors is growing, both in numbers and in the amount contributed. Fund supporters in New York City have won 43 first-time contributors to the fund, totaling $835. Two of them gave $100 each.

Des Moines fund director Chuck Guerra reports that they have received donations from 16 new contributors, for a total of $70.

Robert Beal and Iselda Acosta, new distributors of the Militant in Yakima, Wash., have sold 16 subscriptions during the Militant’s fall campaign. They are also first-time contributors to the Party-Building Fund. “We wanted to do our small part to help the Socialist Workers Party continue providing the international working-class perspective,” they wrote in a note to Seattle fund director Clay Dennison.

As a revolutionary workers party, the Socialist Workers Party depends on contributions from workers, young people, and other supporters to finance its work. The annual fall Party-Building Fund is an important part of those contributions. If you haven’t yet made a donation, consider sending one in today.

The nine-week fund ends Dec. 24. Final payments received by Dec. 31 will be counted on the final scoreboard.

Contributions can be sent to the SWP address nearest you (see page 8) or directly to the SWP National Office at 306 W. 37th St., 10th floor, NY, NY 10018.
