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:
- a
12-month complimentary PV sub
(keep it or give it to a friend);
- People’s Voice 2009 Calendar; People’s
Voice “Karl Marx” Tshirt (tell
us what size);
- a
surprise
music CD - pick
classical, oldies, or folk.
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!
Here's
my contribution to the PV Fund Drive!
Enclosed please find my donation of $_____
to the 2009 People's Voice Press Fund
