Not a one-off!

Readers may remember that last week I reported that no less than £2,855 had been received by the Weekly Worker fighting fund, with one day still to go in October. Well, that last day of the month saw just one donation (£10 from comrade MD), but that was enough to see our final total for October exceed our £2,250 target by £605! Well done, everybody!

But now we have to make sure that wasn’t just a one-off and build on last month’s success. And the good news is that after the first six days of November we already have £487 in the kitty.

The two donations that stand out are the fantastic £100 bank transfers from comrades JC and AC. Brilliant! (JC’s was “in memory of Tom May”, our longstanding comrade who died last month). Other bank transfers/standing orders came from MM (£31), CG (£30), RG and NR (£25 each), DL and BK (£20), BG, MT and AM (£15), RM (£13), MM (£11), AN, CP, DI and YM (£10 each), and DC and JS, who both contributed £6.

Then there was MH’s £10 PayPal donation and the fiver handed to one of our comrades at last Saturday’s Palestine demonstration in London.

So, as I say, we already have £487, with exactly one fifth of the month gone - in other words, at the moment we’re looking at beating that £2,250 target by a couple of hundred quid in November too. But we don’t take anything for granted here at Weekly Worker team HQ. We know we have to consistently break through that target just to meet our running costs, and the cash received varies hugely from day to day.

So please help us out if you can - go to the web address below to see the different ways you can do so.
