Dear John,

Today, January 23rd, will prove to be historic, perhaps rivaling in importance the Seattle General Strike of 1919.   An economic blackout protesting the ICE invasion of Minneapolis and St. Paul will occur throughout Minnesota. It too may take the form of a general strike in the Twin Cities. Our comrades are there supporting the working-class-led peoples coalition.  Listen here and here to learn more about what they're doing. 

Of course, after the today, the struggle will be ongoing. We're writing all of our friends and members to ask you to help lend strength to our ability to organize the working class.  So far, our solidarity campaign to pay for one salary has brought in over $3000. Thank you!  Fifty more $20 contributions come over the weekend will net another $1000. Will you be one of fifty? Of course, you're welcome to contribute more! 

 This is a reminder to get 'em done!  Needless to say, this includes 2026 dues. Be aware that party membership is not dependent on your ability to pay dues, so if you're not able to contribute don't worry. We value all of our members!

Have you paid your 2026 dues? You can do so here.  

The $20.00 solidarity contribution can be made here as well.  You can contribute to the solidarity fund even if you're not a member. It takes about $75,000 a year, including salary, heath care, and taxes to fund one staff position.  We hope that the solidarity contribution plus a fall fund campaign will allow us to pay for one organizing position. Contributions to the work of the Communist Party USA power our organizing efforts, educational programs, and the fight for a just and equitable society.

Giving what you can is about investing in the movement that shapes your future. Strong movements require strong financial backing. Help us organize the working class! You can make your contribution here. 

Fight the ruling class power!

Rossana, Joe, and Anita
