Target exceeded

You did it! Despite the fact that I wasn’t nagging you every week because of our two-week summer break, we’ve now exceeded our £2,250 monthly fighting fund target! With, as I write, one day to go before the end of August, we now have £2,304 in the kitty - thanks very much to all those who helped us out.

There have been some very hefty donations over the last three weeks, but also lots of smaller - and very useful, of course - contributions. Starting with the large ones, there were no less than five three-figure bank transfers or standing orders. Thanks go to PM, SK, KB, AM and GB for those fantastic donations of over £100 each!

Other very welcome amounts came from MM (£75), TR (£40), GT (£35), JT (£25), OG (£24), DG, JS and DR (£20 each), SS (£15), and BH, CC, JL (£10 each), plus £6 from TT. Then there was a £5 standing order from AR, who as usual, augmented that with another fiver via PayPal!

Other PayPal donors were MH (£100), RL, PM and DB (£50 each), AC (£30) and one of our keenest supporters in Italy, MZ (£10). Finally comrades Hassan (£5) and LM (£20) made their usual cash donations.

All that came to £1,592 received over the last three weeks, taking us to just over £50 above the target with a day left. A very much needed excess, in view of the failure to meet that target for three successive months earlier in the year. Now, hopefully, we’ll exceed it by a bit more - I’ll let you know next week!

But let’s make sure this isn’t a one-off and that the Weekly Worker can continue to play its vital role in fighting for the principled, democratic Marxist party that we need so much. Please help us do that by donating regularly to this paper. Go to weeklyworker.co.uk/worker/donate.
