SOCIALIST ACTION OCTOBER 1992 19 announced an ambitious national fund drive of $18,000, following a decision by our August National Convention.
Convention delegates voted to raise these funds in order to maintain the high level of political activity that has characterized Socialist Action since our formation nine years ago.
Part of the funds will be allocated to pay for a new series of 12 educational pamphlets to be issued in the coming months.
Subjects include the destruction of the environment, the liberation movement in South Africa, the African American liberation struggle, the North American Free Trade Agreement, defending public education, and the fight for women's rights.
Other pamphlets are in the works, including "Art and Revolution," by Mike Alewitz; "The Premature Obituaries of Socialism, " by Paul Seigel; "The Philosophy of Marxism," can Stalinism in Crisis: The CPUSA/Committees of Correspondence," by Jeff Mackler.
Socialist Action staffwriter Gerry Foley is currently in the former USSR on a six-week visit. The fund drive will help fund this tour, which will include other countries in Eastern Europe. Foley will also author a new pamphlet, which will focus on the state of the socialist opposition and developments in the national fall and spring, including one Michael Schreiber, who recently returned from South Africa.
All these projects, as well as our ever-increasing operating expenses, require money. That's where the members, supporters, and friends of Socialist Action enter the picture.
We appeal to you, our readers, to help us build the future sócialist society by starting now with your contribution.
