Help distribute WW on Oct. 26
Bush's endless march to war is creating a new generation of
political activists.
Many of them marched last week displaying Workers World
newspaper's headline like a poster: "EARTH TO BUSH: Read our
lips-- No war on Iraq!"
Soon Oct. 26 will be here--with giant demonstrations in
Washing ton and San Francisco. We want to get WW newspapers
into everyone's hands. It will be a huge job, and our readers
can help.
Of course, if people are demonstrating, then they already
know they don't want this war. They probably know that Bush and
his gang are lying through their teeth. They probably know that
the war has to do with oil and profits.
But they need and want answers to a lot of other questions.
What is propelling Bush and Co. into a colossal military
adventure? Why is the Democratic Party joining Bush's parade
even though it's getting letters and emails running 100-1
against war? What has the economy got to do with it all?
Most important, what forces in society can stop the war? How
can the antiwar struggle be strengthened by linking up with the
social movements of the workers and oppressed? How can we build
a permanent organization for social change?
They won't get any of this from the daily newspapers and
television networks.
If you've been reading this paper, you know that Workers
World provides in-depth analysis of the class struggle in the
U.S., often written by organizers in that struggle. We think
you want this kind of information--about the antiwar movement,
the labor actions on the West Coast docks and the fight for
reparations from slavery--to get into more hands. Ditto on the
ongoing activities to free Black political prisoner Mumia
Abu-Jamal, the mobilizations for domestic-partner benefits for
the lesbian and gay community, the battle to keep the right to
abortion, the fight for the right to a job, and every other
progressive struggle.
To help with the distribution of the newspaper in Washington
and San Francisco, look for the Workers World banners and
literature table at the gathering site. Come by to pick up
newspapers for distribution. Try to let us know in advance if
you'll be helping out. For more information, call (212)
627-2994 on the East Coast (ask for Marsha) or (415) 826-4828
on the West Coast. Or send an email to
wwbundles@wwpublish.com.
This struggle will continue. If you would like to get out
newspapers in the future at activities in your area, contact us
at the phone or email addresses above.
Let's answer Bush's lies by building the circulation of
Workers World. It's the best antidote to militarist poison.
