You can do it!

The last seven days saw a slight improvement in terms of donations to the Weekly Worker fighting fund, with £527 coming our way, taking the running total for May up to £982.

But that is no cause for celebration, because, as regular readers of this column will need no reminding, our monthly target is for £2,250. In other words, with over half the month now behind us, we haven’t even reached the first grand yet. So we really do need to move into top gear very soon.

Not that there weren’t some very handy donations over the last seven days. Topping the lot was KB’s fantastic £170, while other excellent bank transfers/standing orders came from MM (£75), PB (£70), TR (£40), SB (£20), SS (£15) and CC (£10). Thanks very much to all those comrades!

In addition there were PayPal contributions to the fund from RL and US comrade PM (£50 each), plus £10 from comrade MZ in Italy. Finally there was that regular banknote received from comrade Hassan - this time for a tenner.

But please let me make my usual appeal to other readers: we really do need to step up the pace. We’ve fallen short of that target for the last two months, so we must make sure we get there this time round. The Weekly Worker absolutely relies on its readers not only to keep publishing, but to improve and expand our reach through social media.

So please ensure we don’t miss out for three months in a row. You can do it!
