Fighting Fund 
Exceptional
In this period of exceptional
political activity we are urging every reader to become a supporter
and a seller of the Weekly Worker. Ring, write or
email for extra copies. Begin with packs of five or 10 and take
it from there. The sky is the limit. Send us the money, say every
month, for what you sell. But don’t dawdle. We live is exciting
times. Events are moving fast and will move faster still.
Demand for our communist message has never
been greater. Nor has the need. Every day our office is deluged
with requests for material, inquires and applications to join.
It is hard to keep up, but keeping up we are. Just. One of our
biggest obstacles remains finance. We have no rich backers, no
hidden source of money. The Weekly Worker relies
on you, its readers.
A couple of generous donations helped push
up the monthly fighting fund total this week. HI has sent us a
cheque for £40 and MC has contributed £25. Thanks, comrades. Other
smaller amounts have helped too. Comrades collected £17.50 in
top-ups on street sales and at the Manchester Stop the War demo.
And a local government worker - who regularly reads us on the
web - handed over a £5 note at the Peoples’ Assembly for Peace.
After seeing last week’s paper she realised the importance of
getting delegated to the historic March 12 gathering.
She was one of 8,495 people who read the
electronic version of the paper last week, which puts our total
circulation near the 10,000 mark. Good, but still very modest
compared with what we could achieve in today’s conditions.
Unfortunately not enough readers are making
donations and as a result our March fund is still in the doldrums.
We need £500 every month, but, with just over two weeks to go,
we have only £176.50. So rush in those cheques.
