Billionaire Bash victory celebration

Over 70 people gathered at the Workers World office in Solidarity Hall in New York on March 4 to celebrate Workers World newspaper’s legal victory against the Renco Group and its owner, multi-billionaire Ira Rennert. The super-rich Rennert had sued WW for publishing the truth: that Renco was trying to pillage the pensions of workers at WCI Steel. The special honorees were lawyers from the media law firm Davis Wright Tremaine who prepared, argued and won the case in New York State Supreme Court. The celebration was also a fundraiser. Though the firm agreed to take the case pro bono, WW owes more than $7,000 for court fees and legal research. If you want to affirm free speech, if you want to support a newspaper that prints facts and analysis never heard in the mainstream media, or if you just want to applaud the triumph of working-class truth over ruling-class lies, please send donations to Workers World newspaper, 55 W. 17 St., New York, N.Y. 10011.
