Summer Offensive

Special effort
Thanks to a last-minute rush of donations, we have just made our £500 target for September.

Amongst those who helped make up the £225 we received this week were three comrades who approached Weekly Worker sellers at the September 27 demonstration with their gifts. Among those was CM, who insisted that his £25 contribution must go towards our fighting fund and not any other cause CPGB comrades are supporting.

Another notable donation is from comrade TR, a regular contributor, who this month has found £30 for his paper - very generous for a pensioner who is not exactly rolling in cash. Also worthy of mention are comrades PL, MB, KG, CS, BV and ST, whose cheques and postal orders took our September total to £525./Well, we have ‘overfulfilled’ our target, but by nowhere near enough, considering the parlous state of some of our office equipment. So we have decided to up October’s fund to £750 - a one-off 50% increase, but one that can easily be met if our supporters make a special effort over the next four weeks.
