MIM Notes No. 198, November 15, 1999 Read, distribute and write for MIM Notes! Build the Revolution! Campaign to Expand MIM Notes Distribution MIM Notes has a campaign to expand distribution of our newspaper in 1999. As the end of the century approaches we must stress the importance of summing up the lessons of the 20th century for communists and of applying these lessons to the advancing struggle against imperialism. Independent media of the oppressed is crucial to building a movement that can take on imperialism. Right now we don't come close to competing with the New York Times or the other daily newspapers across this imperialist country. But with your help we can expand our distribution and advance the fight towards the day when we can take on and defeat the imperialist mouthpieces. If you live in a city where there is no regular MIM Notes distributor, your help is crucial. But even if you live in a city where there are already distributors, your help will expand our outreach into more communities in your city. We ask that our distributors help with the cost of printing and shipping the paper if possible but whether or not you have the money, we need your help. Distributors can sell the paper on the streets and at political events and you can leave copies of the paper free at colleges, in community centers, in laundry mats, at libraries, in coffee shops, in bookstores, and anywhere else that they won't get thrown away and people will pick them up. Our goal for 1999 is to expand distribution of MIM Notes and increase the necessary funding by 25% of the current total. We can't do it without your help. Contact your local distributor or send us this form to help out. Yes, I will help expand MIM Notes Distribution! I'm already a distributor, but you can send me more papers. Total of papers.
