Fighting Fund

Partyist priority
Disappointment, not to say despondency, was in the air after the May 10 conference of the Socialist Alliance. Many had thought that, after the election of our councillor in Preston, there might be a new mood of optimism, leading to a relaunch, a real advance in the direction of a party. It was not to be.

There is, however, a lesson. While the other principal supporting organisations fail to take partyism seriously, the Weekly Worker will continue - week in, week out, irrespective of difficulties and setbacks - to campaign for what our class needs: a democratic, centralised Communist Party. In the Socialist Alliance, in the anti-war movement, on demonstrations, on our stalls, we will not stop pointing out what is necessary.

That is why you need to make support for your paper a priority. Without the full £500 every month we would be considerably handicapped in putting across our message as effectively as we need to. And that is why old stalwarts like comrade TR never let us down. This month his donation was for £30. Thanks also to GT (£20), JK and RT (£15 each), TY and AP (£10 apiece), who together took our May total up to £262.

Let me appeal once again to our web readers in particular - there were 9,404 visits to the CPGB site last week giving us a circulation of over 10,000 - to help fund the resource that so many find so useful. Please help us reach our £500 target.
