JOIN DEMOCRATIC LEFT'S THIRTY- FIFTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

For thirty-five years, nearly a full decade longer

than DSA's existence, Democratic Left has covered the work of progressives, including grassroots activism in many movements for social and economic justice. Articles have not been limited to the U.S. but have covered important struggles wherever they have occurred. Democratic Left is a magazine of the left firmly rooted in both immediate struggles for reform and the principles of democratic socialism.

Beginning as Michael Harrington's Newsletter of the Democratic Left, then just the Newsletter of the Democratic Left, and finally Democratic Left, the magazine has been both an independent voice for the broad left and the magazine that DSA members get four times a year.

We are asking our friends to join our celebration of half a lifetime's work by making special contributions to support the magazine. For just a dollar or two or five or ten for each year of our publication, or just a hundred bucks, your name can appear in the pages of Democratic Left. And to make sure we receive the maximum bang for your buck, this campaign will only be conducted on line and in the pages of Democratic Left, saving us the cost of printing, postage and phone calls. Every contributor to this campaign will be listed in Democratic Left in the first issue published after we receive his/her contribution. The next issue will be published at the end of September, but don't wait too long or you will have wait until the year-end issue to see your name in Democratic Left; in order to publish your name in the next issue we need to receive your contribution by this September 17.

So here's the deal: just click on the level of the contribution that you want to make, and you will be taken to our website where you can use your MASTERCARD or VISA to make an on-line contribution. Or you can send a check (payable to DSA) to the national office (75 Maiden Lane, Suite 505, New York, NY 10038); be sure to write "35th anniversary celebration" on the check. Please choose from the following contribution levels:

DL Supporter, just $1 for each of our 35 years: $35

DL Sustainer, just $2 for each of our 35 years: $70

DL Booster, just one hundred bucks covers 35 years: $100

DL Writer, just $5 for each of our 35 years: $175

DL Editor, just $10 for each of our 35 years: $350

Your special contribution will help us to meet the challenge created by the disproportionate postal increase that Bush and his friends have imposed on small independent publications like Democratic Left, In These Times and The Nation and help us to improve the publication!

Thank you in advance for your consideration and support.

In solidarity
