Weekly Worker 385 Thursday May 24 2001

Play your part

This month continues to be a bit slow. Our fund is barely moving, with only Ł65 raised this week. That takes our total to just Ł313, with only seven days to go to meet our Ł450 target.

That means we really do need a concerted effort for the final week. To drop below requirements for a third time this year would leave us skating on thin ice - and at a time when we have committed ourselves to a bigger paper in order to boost the general election campaign of the Socialist Alliance/Scottish Socialist Party.

So the effect of your donation stretches beyond the Weekly Worker. It can also impact on the political forces we are trying to influence - not least those forces currently in the process of uniting in what, logically, must lead to a Socialist Alliance party.

Play your part in helping to mould the party we need. That’s what comrades LB, CF, DD and SZ did this week - thanks to all.
