Dear John, Red Alert! The People’s World fund drive is in danger. It has only reached $70,000 — it should have climbed to $90,000 by now. Here is an appeal from Joe Sims on the urgency of keeping our Communist, working-class and people’s press alive.
Will you be one of 500 people to contribute $100 or more? If $100 is too much, $50, $25 or $5 contributions are welcome. Perhaps you and your family, friends, co-workers and fellow activists can help keep this unique working-class and people’s newspaper going by setting up a $5 or $25 a month sustainer. Please go to peoplesworld.org/donate and make the best contribution you can.
