SWP fund enables party to
reach youth, fighting workers
BY JOHN STUDER
Halfway into the Socialist Workers Party’s $100,000 fund drive, we are
making up some ground toward goals and collections that would meet our
quota — but we have a ways to go.
The annual fund underwrites the party’s participation in politics — from
international trips to collaborate with fellow supporters of the Cuban
Revolution to work with opponents of the frame-up against rail workers
Tom Harding and Richard Labrie in Quebec to helping build protests
against police brutality.
“We’re sending a check for $2,330 for week four,” Chicago fund organizer
John Hawkins wrote. “We’re getting closer to being on time. If we
continue along these lines we should be able to surpass our increased
goal of $11,000.”
Chicago is one of four areas that have raised their goals. More are needed.
“We raised an additional $750 in pledges,” Ruth Robinett wrote from
Omaha, Nebraska. “This will take us substantially over our quota.”
From Fiat Chrysler and the other Big Three auto companies pressing to
keep two-tier wages that divide and weaken workers to ATI, U.S. Steel
and ArcelorMittal demanding concessions from steelworkers, attacks by
the bosses and their government are radicalizing workers. The fund helps
the SWP to reach them. Join us in getting new pledges and contributions!
John Studer is the 2015 fund director.
