What is lacking!

Readers may recall that three weeks ago, in the issue just before our summer break (August 1), I reported that in July we had smashed through our monthly £2,250 fighting fund target, raising no less than £2,847. Just what we needed!

So what’s the situation for the Weekly Worker in August? Well, I’m pleased to say that things are looking just as good for August - we already have £1,787 in the kitty, which means we are just £463 short of our target with 10 days still to go!

All this is very heartening, especially in a situation where we’ve been faced with a huge rise in costs - particularly for printing, but also for postage, etc. It looks inevitable that we’ll have to increase our subscription rates later this year, despite the fantastic generosity of so many of our readers and supporters.

I won’t list all the donations that have come our way over the last three weeks, but let me sum them up. Firstly, four comrades came up with three-figure contributions, while a further six donated between £50 and £100. Twelve others contributed between £20 and £50, while the remaining 21 were for less, but only two of those were for under £10. Brilliant!

Thanks very much to every one of those 43 comrades, but now we need another couple of dozen to make sure we shoot past that target once again! Feel free to make a bank transfer or PayPal donation - or even send us a cheque! Go to the link below to see how.

We need our readers, just as they - not to mention the entire left - need the only paper that fights for what is so badly lacking: a single, principled, democratic Marxist party!
