SOCIALIST ACTION SEPTEMBER 1991 Dear readers, A meeting of the National Committee of Socialist Action in August voted to take some important steps forward.

One was to recommend that serious consideration be given to increasing the frequency of publication of Socialist Action newspaper sometime in 1992.

This would make the paper more useful to you by presenting news and analysis in a more timely way.

To help prepare for this transition, the paper is launching a fall subscription drive both to win new readers and to urge current subscribers to renew. Supporters Renewals. Six months for $4.

Name Addre of the paper, including members of Socialist Action, have already taken combined goals of new subs and renewals. The campaign will go through Dec. 15.

We plan to put some subscription teams on the road to introduce new people to Socialist Action. Any readers who would like to participate in the teams should get in touch with our business office.

Of course, another aspect of publishing the paper more frequently is finances. The pro-capitalist daily papers rely primarily on revenues from advertising. Socialist Action, on the other hand, must meet the deficit between its cover price and publicaAI my San Francisco, CA tion costs through donations by its supporters. Increasing the frequency of publication will cost more money.

Simultaneous with the subscription drive, we are launching a fund drivealso to go through Dec. 15. Our goal is to raise $24,000 from supporters by that date.

Pinally, the loft which houses both the editorial and business offices of Socialist Action, as well as the national and San Francisco offices of the organization with the same name, are just not big enough to accommodate us anymore, and we've got to move to larger premises this fall. The move itself and expected higher rent mean Baltimore Bath, Me.

We urge you, our readers, to participate in both these efforts by helping sell subscriptions and by donating to the $24,000 fund. Please make checks payable to Socialist Action, and send them to the address on the subscription blank below.

If readers in areas other than those shown on the initial scoreboard would like to take a goal for the subscription drive, that would help significantly in this effort.
