    Donations are coming in fast to our 2009 Fund Drive, which is now over the 20% mark. Leading the way is Ontario, with  $5545 to date, or 25.2% of their provincial target. BC has raised $4079, or one-fifth of its provincial goal of $20,600. Saskatchewan readers have sent $200, or 25% of their goal. Alberta is now at 24%, with $576 raised on their target of $2400. In total, we have raised $10,870, or 21.6% of our goal.

    The attack on free speech across Canada has moved into high gear this spring. Recent  shocking examples include British MP George Galloway being barred from entering the country, and the move to force an NDP candidate in Vancouver to apologize for speaking out against Israel’s anti-Palestinian policies. More than ever, it is critical to carry on a two-sided struggle for free speech - fighting to win space for progressive opinions and  viewpoints within the mainstream media, while building our own, working class press and other democratic avenues to express left-wing ideas. People’s Voice joins with our friends in the antiwar and other progressive movements in condemning the efforts to criminalize those who speak out against Israeli apartheid, and we will continue to print the truth about the situation in the Middle East.

    Funds for the PV Drive have been raised at several events during Miguel Figueroa’s speaking tour on the fight for jobs and EI, which is on the prairies as this issue goes to press. Thanks to all who have donated at these meetings!

    As you know from our recent mailout, we are once again offering something in return for your generous solidarity. This year’s “PV Shopping Bag” includes the following:
    Here’s how it works. For a $100 donation, you will receive your choice of one of these items. For each additional $100, you can choose another item from our Shopping Bag. For a donation of $1000 or more, take the entire Shopping Bag, and we will also give a lifetime subscription to you or a friend.

    Remember - People’s Voice is your newspaper, your voice in the information wars. Your contribution helps us build it bigger and better!
