Up the pace!

Unfortunately, we’re quite a bit behind the going rate, when it comes to February’s fighting fund. As most readers will know, we need to raise £2,750 every month to help support the Weekly Worker, but, as I write, the running total is just £877 after 11 of the 28 days. So now we need to up the pace!

Of course, we’re more than grateful to this week’s contributors for their generosity - special thanks to comrade TB for his magnificent £96 donated via PayPal. Others using that payment method were SH (£50), ST (£20), AB (£11), MN (£10), JV (£7) and GP (£5).

Then we had a few comrades who paid by bank transfer/standing order - thanks to comrades DV and NH (£30 each), NR (£25), RD (£12) and comrades SM, PM and CC, who all chipped in with a tenner. Finally, there was that well-known donor, who handed his usual £5 note to one of our team, comrade Hassan.

Of course, we’re more than grateful to all those comrades, but the problem is, there weren’t enough of them! Their generosity only provided an extra £330, when reaching that target requires a weekly average of more than twice that!

So are we going to see a lot more coming our way over the next two weeks and three days? Let’s hope so!

As new subscriber KL wrote, “Yours is the best paper on the left - the only one I know that believes in serious debate.” Thanks, comrade - that’s all part of the drive that motivates us: building a mass party that can finally end capitalism by organising the working class for state power.

Please support the fighting fund!
