The Militant (logo)
Vol. 79/No. 36 October 12, 2015
Join effort to make SWP $100,000 fund goal
BY JOHN STUDER
Socialist Workers Party branches in Oakland, Chicago, Omaha and Twin
Cities raised their fund goals this week, helping boost the national
total by $3,700.
The $100,000 fund drive helps finance the work of the party as there is
increasing interest in the SWP and the Militant, the party’s press.
The capitalist “world order” of imperialist alliances and spheres of
influence that have marked social relations for decades is coming apart,
from the unraveling of the European Union; to Moscow’s steps to insert
itself more forcefully in the Middle East, sending troops and using
fighter bombers in Syria; to rising challenges to Washington’s hegemony
in Asia and elsewhere. The grinding world crisis of capitalist
production, trade and falling profit rates are pushing the bosses to
deepen attacks on workers’ jobs, wages, working conditions and social
and political rights.
“At last night’s Militant Labor Forum we picked up close to $500 in new
pledges,” Frank Forrestal wrote from the Twin Cities Sept. 26. “Another
plus: we sold four Militant subscriptions at the meeting — two renewals
and subs to a teacher and a truck driver.” Twin Cities SWP members
raised their goal by $300 a couple days later.
Join the effort to reach the $100,000 goal and bring the drive home.
Help get the word out to other Militant readers, fellow participants on
strike picket lines and protesters fighting cop brutality and others.
John Studer is the 2015 fund drive director.
