Where you come in

As we strive to reach what has recently been a somewhat elusive Weekly Worker monthly fighting fund target of £2,250, I can report that the running total for July now stands at £793. However, the amount raised over the last seven days has been just £365 - which means that now we really do need to step up the pace.

As usual, the highest proportion of what we received this week came in the shape of standing orders or bank transfers - thanks go to comrades PB (£60), BO (£35), HN (£30), GD and DV (£25 each), SM, LG and CC (£10 from all three).

On top of that, comrades RL and PM both came up with their regular £50 donations via PayPal - a means that was also used by NW (£25) and MH (£10). Finally we received one of those not infrequent cash contributions from both comrades LM (£20) and Hassan (£5).

True, we are approaching that part of the month when several substantial three-figure standing orders come our way, but that doesn’t mean we should be happy with the below-par total that we’ve so far received in July. We really do need more of our readers to show their support in a way that counts!

As comrade LC recently wrote when renewing his subscription, “How could I not get the Weekly Worker each week? What other left paper encourages such free and open debate among comrades?” Yes, comrade, but don’t forget that we have to raise the cash to continue to do so - and unfortunately the subscription alone doesn’t cover all our costs.

That’s where you all come in, dear readers!
