Weekly Worker 580 Thursday June 9 2005
Solidarity, not charity
No, we don't finance our organisation by selling our livers; wo
don't have a T-shirt sweatshop in Turkey and we certainly don't have
the heir to a nationwide chain of dry cleaners in our midst - these
are only some of the weird explanations others on the left have made
up to explain how we can raise £30,000 in two months (this year:
June and July). In fact, we rely to 100% on party members, supporters,
sympathisers and readers of the Weekly Worker. If you appreciate
our open and democratic press, now is the time to show us! Rush your
donations to us today.

We
need your help!The Summer Offensive’s total this week jumped to a healthy £2,991.
Thanks to all party members and supporters who have contributed. I would
particularly like to mention comrade AD, whose donation of £100
is much appreciated. Special thanks also go to party stalwart TR, who
sent us a cheque for £60 and FJ for his donation of £15.
With the prospect of the party’s G8 campaigning work beginning in
earnest over the next week, the momentum is starting to build. Our team
going to Edinburgh in July will argue for ‘solidarity, not charity’
as the effective response to world poverty. Help us to make the communist
voice heard by rushing your donations and standing orders to the party
office now. You can also make a credit card donation by using our online
facility via the CPGB website.
Talking of which, we had 12,828 visitors last week. We could really do
with some of those thousands helping our fundraising drive.
