You did it!

Good news, comrade readers! Thanks to some splendid donations received in the last few days of the month, we managed to scrape past that monthly Weekly Worker fighting fund target of £2,250.

The prize for the most generous donor was comrade LM, who usually hands a £20 note to our editor when she sees him each week. Well, this week he suggested that she set up a monthly standing order for convenience sake - which she did on September 28. But she thought we might as well have that £20 note as well, meaning that her total donation, when you add the £80 SO, was £100!

Other SOs/bank transfers came from Irish comrade AM (£67 - or €80), GB (£11), MD and VP (£10 each) and AR (£5) - who, as usual, also paid us his monthly PayPal contribution for the same amount. Another PayPal donor was MF (£50), while comrade Hassan paid us £15 in cash (£5 for each of the last three weeks!).

All that came to £273, taking our total for September up to £2,299. Yes, we exceeded the target by £49. So now let’s see if we can keep up the momentum in October!

Well, we start the month with £336 in the kitty after just four days, as I write - all of it coming in the shape of those start-of-the-month standing orders. Thanks go to AC (£50), FK (£37), CG (£30), BK, II, MW and SJ (£20 each), MD (£18), RG, BG and MT (£15), TM (£13), MM (£11), AN, CP, DI and YM (£10) and DC (£6).

Quite a good start then, but, as I say, we really do need to keep up that momentum. Let’s make sure that the Weekly Worker can continue its essential work of campaigning to unite the revolutionary left around a Marxist programme within a single, democratic-centralist party. Fancy helping us out?
