Introduction: Socialist Action
is, and always will be, a unique publication. Unlike most newspaper that are owned,
funded and politically in line with big business, Socialist Action
is a working class newspaper! SA
newspaper is funded by contributions from its supporters, and is
distributed by workers, activists and students who see it and
use it as their voice.
Because SA is a working class
newspaper, we believe it is an importantly unique resource – a well researched, quality paper that looks at and explains
the world from the perspective of the people, not the bosses. It’s a great way for activists to
keep their bearings and sort out the misinformation in the corporate
press, as well as a great tool for introducing new people to socialist
ideas.
A great educational tool that just sits on a
table or shelf collecting dust though isn’t a very useful one though – which
is why it’s so important to make sure that Socialist Action is
distributed as widely as possible.
We need to get this newspaper into the hands of as many people
as possible. To do that though
we need your help!
Pass Your Paper Around:
For starters, we urge all of our online
readers, and readers who buy individual physical copies, to purchase
subscriptions to the paper. That
helps us to fund the paper. And
when you get each month’s issue of Socialist Action in the mail,
make sure it gets passed around – to your co-workers, neighbors and
classmates! Never throw away a
copy of SA. If nothing else,
drop it off at your local laundry mat, college campus, union hall, bus
station, bar or coffee shop for someone else to pick up.
Get a Monthly Bundle to Distribute:
We also strongly encourage our readers to get
monthly bundles of Socialist Action. That way you can regularly distribute
SA at bookstores, cafes, laundry mats in your area, and hawk the
paper at protests, picket lines, street corners and plant gates. Bundles are $1 a copy, and you can
get as many copies a month as you want to pay for (a bundle of 4
papers is $4, a bundle of 100 papers is $100,
etc.).
To
order a bundle of Socialist Action to be delivered to your door
each month send a letter and a check made out to “Socialist Action”
for the number of papers you’d like to our National Office at P.O.
Box 10328, Oakland CA 94610. If you have any questions, or would
