From: Freedom Socialist Party <fs...@earthlink.net> To: muffy_su...@yahoo.com Sent: Tuesday, June 4, 2013 1:01 PM Subject: Help the FS raise $100,000! Help the FS raise $100,000! > Is this email not displaying correctly?View it in your browser. > > >Donate to the 2013 Freedom Socialist $100,000 Fund Drive! >June 2013 > >Artwork by Linnea Granryd >What’s your passion? At the Freedom Socialist, we’re passionate about >ferreting out news you can use; positively obsessed with reporting on the >trials, tribulations, and victories of working folks across the globe; and >fervent about wielding the pen (metaphorically speaking) to change the world. >It’s important work — and it’s work we can’t do without your support! Today, >we’re asking you to put your money where your mind is — and donate to the FS >$100,000 Fund Drive. >For over 40 years this socialist feminist publication has delivered >hard-hitting, anti-corporate news and analysis you just won’t find anywhere >else. Our activist-writers have consistently gone the extra mile to get the >stories no mainstream media will cover — including community organizing to >save City College of San Francisco, rising opposition to coal export >terminals, and international drives to free political prisoners like Lynne >Stewart, Bradley Manning, and Mumia Abu-Jamal. Interviews with unionist and >revolutionary Henry Noble and with Honduran gay rights organizer Pepe Palacios >are unique pieces you won’t be reading in Time magazine or, dare we say it, >hearing on NPR. >And at a time when the corporate media portrays women as victims of violence >for entertainment or as adolescent fantasies to sell everything from cars to >soft drinks, the consistent feminist lens through which the FS sees the world >brings clarity and relief. The FS not only highlights the fight for female >liberation — from the demand for childcare to the special issues and >leadership of women of color and immigrant women — but it also explains how >this fight is at the core of creating a better world on this planet, for all >of us. >Regular readers of the FS know they can count on us. And whether you are one >of them, or only newly introduced to the paper, we hope we can count on you. >Every dime raised in this June-September drive will be spent wisely, and >pinched twice to stretch it further! Contributions go directly to the writing >and producing of the FS, its printing at a union shop, and postage. Most of >the staff is volunteer, like I am, but we want our managing editor and >production guru to be able to keep body and soul together! >Capitalist-run periodicals make well over half their income from advertising >by their corporate brethren. The FS relies on people who value what we do >instead. Income from donations lets us keep the paper affordable for workers, >students, retirees, the unemployed, and strikers — and free for prisoners. >And the FS is also online at www.socialism.com, where thousands of people each >week find bonus features including statements on breaking events and >additional articles in Spanish. >We need your help to keep the presses humming and the Web site well-stocked >with the careful reporting, keen analysis, humor, and optimism that mark the >FS. Times are tough for most people. But our readers have always come through. >So please, give as generously as you can. Any amount — from $5 to $500 — will >be appreciated and put to good use. >It’s easy to donate! Send your check to Freedom Socialist, 5018 Rainier Ave. >S., Seattle, WA 98118, or donate now online. If you would like to become a >sustaining contributor via a regular pledge — a Friend of the FS — let us >know! >We know your money is hard-earned. Every penny will go directly to maintain >the FS tradition of truth-telling, movement-building journalism. Thank you for >your support! >In solidarity, >Margaret Viggiani, FS Business Manager >P.S.
