    As we near May 1, the international day of workers, remember that the class struggle is conducted on several important fronts: economic (primarily in the workplace between bosses and workers), political (at the ballot box and beyond), and ideological (the battle of ideas). For nearly two centuries, the labour press has been an essential tool for progressive workers and their allies in these struggles. Since our launch in 1993, People’s Voice has carried on this proud tradition of the working class press. Your donations are essential to help us keep playing this role!

    Donations keep rolling in for our 2009 Fund Drive, which is now getting close to the 30% mark. Ontario, with $8153 raised, and Saskatchewan ($300 turned in) are virtually tied for the lead, at about 37% of their respective targets. Alberta is now at 24%, with $576 raised on their target, just ahead of British Columbia, which has achieved 23%, or $4768. In total, we have raised $14,177, or 28.4% of our goal.

    Thanks to all who have taken part in recent PV events, such as the Vancouver East Club’s annual Spaghetti Dinner, and the Davenport Club’s theatre fundraiser in Toronto.

    Some important events are coming up in British Columbia. The annual Mother's Day Pancake Breakfast organized by the Burnaby Club takes place on Sunday, May 10, 10 am-1 pm, at 5435 Kincaid St., Burnaby. And our 17th Annual PV Victory Banquet is set for Saturday, June 20, at the Russian Hall, 600 Campbell Ave. in Vancouver. Tickets will go on sale soon.

    As you know, 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!
