Off the boil

Another minor crisis. With just over a week left before the end of our June fund, we are badly lagging.

We need to raise a full £400 every month to supplement our income from sales of the Weekly Worker and thus cover our costs - which includes printing, stationery, rent and other overheads. Earlier this year our readers and supporters stumped up a magnificent £3,000 - desperately needed to upgrade our computers.

But since then we seem to have gone off the boil. With just £65 received since last week, we are languishing at £205. Comrades, please don't let us down. Rush in your donations to take us beyond our target. Send your gift today.

Thanks this week to TR (£15), JP, CF and TD (all £10).

Ask for a bankers order form, or send cheques, payable to Weekly Worker, BCM Box 928, London WC1N 3XX
