WE NEED YOUR HELP !The aftermath of George Bush's war on Iraq goes beyond even the utter devastation and human suffering it brought down on that land. It extends to the opening it has given the U.S. both to attack other countries around the world, and to mount ever greater attacks on our freedoms right at home -- while all our social crises continue to escalate. Most ominous of all is the ideological impact of Bush's victory -- the danger that a sense of powerlessness against the onslaught will convince those who want to uproot this dehumanized society that there is no alternative to it. Never was it more important to keep a revolutionary journal like News & Letters alive. No other paper anywhere presents to the world the voices of those fighting for freedom -- from labor to youth and from women to the Black dimension -- inseparable from the articulation of a philosophy of revolution as we grapple with the hard questions of what it takes to create a new society based on human foundations. It is this combination of philosophy and revolution that makes it urgent to keep N&L alive. BUT WE CANNOT DO IT WITHOUT YOUR HELP! As we have done every year since we began in 1955, we again turn to you, our readers, to help us meet the ever-rising costs for the printing of N&L, our office rent and constant postage increases. This year your help is crucial for getting off the press the new work we have just completed on the Revolutionary Black Dimension that shows the opposition to capitalism and war is nowhere deeper than in Black America, and that the Marxist-Humanist concept of "Black masses as vanguard" continues to emerge in mass struggles against racism, police abuse, the AIDS crisis and the criminal injustice system, all of which define capitalism today. That cost alone will surpass $5000. NEVER WAS YOUR HELP MORE NEEDED! PLEASE GIVE AS GENEROUSLY AS YOU CAN TO HELP N&L! |
