Autumn Propaganda Drive (1971)

Party News from the August 1971 issue of the Socialist Standard

During the week 12th to 19th September we shall be engaging in a week’s extended propaganda activity and would like all members and sympathisers to participate. This activity will only take place in London and other towns where we have branches, but it could and should take place in every area where there is a member of the S.P.G.B. sympathiser or reader of the Socialist Standard.

In London, we shall commence with an outdoor meeting on Sunday 12th and the week will terminate with a special Rally at Hyde Park on the 19th. On each of the weekdays, we shall hold outdoor meetings at Lincolns Inn Fields. Charing Cross. Earls Court etc. It is also anticipated that special efforts will be made to run extra meetings in Glasgow, Edinburgh, etc. In addition, many London branches will run special indoor meetings during this week.

Apart from all the meetings, we particularly wish to concentrate on selling literature and in particular the Socialist Standard. If you are unable to take part in any of the organised activities, we should like you to order at least 1 dozen extra copies of the September issue for selling in your area or at your place of work. Why not try and get your local news-agent to sell the S.S.—we can arrange special terms. And if you’re the only Socialist in any town, why not try a stint at canvassing the sale of the S.S. London branches will be covering many of the Tube stations during this week; these are a useful source for sales.

Full details of meetings, literature sales drives etc will be notified to members and will appear in the September S.S. If you have any suggestions or ideas for the particular area where you live— let us know. We will do our best to help in any way.
Propaganda Committee.
