Regular money

Sales of the Weekly Worker, though important, are not sufficient to finance our paper. Nor does our survival depend on the backing of wealthy advertisers. On the contrary, our finances are based on the contributions of dedicated supporters. Communist money finances communist politics. That is why we can say what we want, when we want. To keep the paper fighting fit, we are again asking partisans of the paper to contribute regular money to the Weekly Worker fighting fund with a monthly target of £400, starting with October. Ask for a bankers order form, and/or send cheques payable to CPGB.
