<font face="Helvetica, Helvetica" size=2>Dear
friends,</font><font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=2> <br><br>
Below is a proposal from PP Jaan Laaman, asking for your help in
distributing and raising some funds for his publication, 4strugglemag.
4strugglemag currently sends hundreds of free mags to prisoners, and we
rely on outside subscribers/purchasers to subsidize those costs. We
are proposing that groups commit to purchasing 10 magazines (per issue)
for $40 to distribute in their own communities. And, of course, you
should order more if you think you can move them. Individual mags are $6,
so you’ll be raising some funds for your group as well, by doing this
distro. <br><br>
To order, you can click on the ‘donate’ button on our subscription page
and send us the cash that way (4strugglemag.org/subscribe). If you
wish to send us a cheque or money order, please DO NOT make it out to
‘4strugglemag,’ as we will not be able to cash it. You can make it
out to Sara Falconer or Karen Suurtamm and send it to us at<br><br>
4strugglemag<br>
P.O. Box 97048<br>
RPO Roncesvalles Ave.<br>
Toronto Ontario<br>
Canada M6R 1H1<br><br>
PLEASE NOTE: Jaan has asked that you communicate with us directly about
this, because he isn’t able to talk about money matters.<br><br>
Also, check out our recently revamped website
(<a href="http://www.4strugglemag.org/">www.4strugglemag.org</a>).
The new issue will be up in a day or two. You can download our
subscription flyer here to distro and encourage people to become
subscribers themselves

To My Sisters and Brothers in struggle,<br><br>
On this Chinese New Year, Year of the Tiger, I have some positive
information and a suggestion/request for you. 4strugglemag is in
its fifth year of publication. We are upgrading our hard copy
edition beginning with issue 15, which will be out in a couple
days. With the improvements in 4sm's look, better covers, paper and
printing, we also want to increase hard copy circulation. 4sm will
always be primarily an online mag, but we want to increase hard copy
circulation to prisoners and people outside.<br><br>
4sm will continue to publish 3 issues a year. Copies to prisoners
will continue to be free. We are asking $6 per issue for paper
copies ($15 for a one year's subscription), for people outside. To
increase 4sm's reach, we would like to send you, our closest natural
allies and comrades, small bundles (10 copies, or more if you want) of
each issue. We would ask that you send us back $4 per copy, either
right away or once you sell/distribute them. As I'm sure you know,
4sm is not a money making venture, but we need to cover at least some of
our costs (particularly printing and mailing costs). It should not
be hard to sell 10 (or a lot more) copies of this primary voise of
political prisoners in the u.s., in the course of your p.p. support and
other work. We are also open to any ideas you might have as far as
increasing 4sm paper copy circulation.<br><br>
Issue 15 will be out in early March and we want to send you a small
bundle beginning with this issue. Right now this is going out to
all abcf's, Jerichos and a few similar independent collectives. Get
back to us with any thoughts and let us know if you want more then ten
copies. Also send us the postal address where you want your bundle
mailed to. Keep in mind the 4sm is always open to any analysis,
ideas or information any of you want to put out there. We literally
are checked out by thousands of people in countries around the
world. Send you reply back to Sara and Karen in Canada.
People in email contact with me can copy your reply to me also if you
want. Working together 4sm can reach more people with even more
insightful and revolutionary words.<br><br>
In Solidarity, Jaan Laaman<br><br>
