THE FEDS PUT ISLAM ON TRIAL

Give a gift to SocialistWorker.org

We're asking for your help to keep SocialistWorker.org going and growing. If you can spare a donation during the holiday season to help assure our site's future, we thank you.

We've been witness to an extraordinary year--from the wave of rebellions and revolutions across the Arab world to the stirrings of mass movements in Greece, Spain and elsewhere in Europe. In the U.S., there was the uprising in Wisconsin last winter against a union-busting Republican governor--followed this fall by the nationwide upsurge of the Occupy Wall Street movement against corporate greed, political power and outrageous inequality.

SocialistWorker.org was there, week after week, during this year that will go down in history. If you're a regular reader, you're sure to remember the eyewitness accounts of the revolution in Egypt. The reports written straight from the floor of the occupied Wisconsin State Capitol. The articles that celebrated the protests and political awakening of the Occupy movement.

All of us who work on SW have been proud to be a part of providing this to a bigger audience of readers than ever before. But we also know how stretched we are for the resources we need to keep up with what we and you expect of SocialistWorker.org. Independent media like ours have always depended on the dedication and commitment of people who want to make sure that alternative voices get heard.

These are tough times we know--but we're asking for your generosity. If you can give a contribution to SocialistWorker.org, we would greatly appreciate it.
