The aim of the Press Releases were to provide a source for domestic and global news on certain strikes, class struggle prisoners, domestic and international solidarity and fundraising campaigns. As well as reports on WSA national conferences (conventions) and IWA events. Our audiences were both North American and global. The Press Releases were produced by a New York-New Jersey WSA (all labor and costs donated). Copies were postal mailed to, on average, 50 plus individuals, newspapers and IWA Sections and appeared in the internal WSA Discussion Bulletin. This was produced in the era before the internet. Over the years many of these Press Releases were republished in the global IWA, anarcho-syndicalist, libertarian and (usually socialist) workers press.
