Essential role

Despite some very handy donations received over the last week, I’m afraid that we are well below the going rate, when it comes to the Weekly Worker’s monthly £2,750 fighting fund target.

Let’s start with the positive side though. Topping the list is comrade PB, with her brilliant £80 regular contribution, followed by MM with his £75, TR (£40), TW and GB (£25 each), OG (£24), plus MD, JL and AM, who each chipped in with £10. All of those payments came via bank transfer or standing order. Then there was the usual batch of PayPal donors - thanks to KS and PM (£50), AR, SO and GP (£5 each) and AH (£3).

All that adds up to £417 received over the last week, taking our running total up to £1,294. But that means we are slightly over a third of the way there with just under two thirds of February gone. We need no less than another £1,456 in just 10 days!

But the last thing you can accuse me of is pessimism. I know how many of our supporters help us out towards the end of each month, and I’m hoping February will be no exception! But this is where you come in. Please do your bit to make sure we reach that much-needed target, so that the Weekly Worker can continue to play its essential role in providing the space to debate how a principled, powerful, democratic-centralist, Marxist party can be created.
