what is it?
Every year, the Communist Party organises a Summer Offensive
- an intensive burst of fundraising work, normally lasting
two months. This year, we have again set ourselves the
ambitious target of £30,000. During the months of
June and July, members, supporters and sympathisers of
the CPGB will work hard to raise their targets - but we
also need the help of our online sympathisers and Weekly
Worker e-readership.
The idea of a short period of intense fundraising comes
via Marx's Neue Rheinische Zeitung, the Subbotniks
of the Bolsheviks and the Iscinin Sesi wing of the Communist
Party of Turkey. Click

explains the political background of this important period
in our political calendar.
Producing
the Weekly Worker places a heavy financial burden
on our organisation - political independence comes at
a price. You do not have to agree with us on every dot
and comma in order to appreciate our open and democratic
press.
All this costs money. As does our involvement in the
Hands Off the People Of
Iran campaign. We have no rich backers - we rely on
you! Support
the CPGB's fight for transparency in the workers' movement!
how you can help
- Take out a standing order
to the party. If you have one already, can you increase
it? Regular income is extremely important to the party,
as it allows us to plan ahead. Please return the standing
order form to our office (address below) - do not send
it your bank.
- You can send us a cheque/postal order made payable
to 'CPGB' to BCM Box 928, London WC1N 3XX. Mark the
back, 'Summer Offensive'
- Alternatively, you can make a credit or debit card
donation via the PayPal facility below.
- Do you subscribe
to the Weekly
Worker? If not, now is the time to do so - it
reads so much better in hard copy than on a tiny computer
screen …
- Set up a CPGB stall with comrades in the area. Email
us at and we will send you materials and get you
in touch with other comrades.
- Buy bulk orders of badges on www.campaignbadges.co.uk
and sell them on.
