Your support

As usual, this week’s fighting fund has been marked by the generosity and support of more than a few readers. But I have to say that we’re still behind the going rate, when it comes to our monthly target of £2,750.

Let me remind you, first of all, of the real need to reach that target every month, given the fact that the Weekly Worker has had to deal with hugely increased costs - not least relating to printing and postage. That is why we are so grateful for the support provided by our expanding readership both here in Britain and globally.

This week £419 came our way, taking our running total for May up to £1,034 - in other words, just over £300 short of the halfway mark with, as I write, just two days before the end of the first half of the month. Thanks very much, comrades PB (£80), TW (£50), DV (£30), BB (£20), RD (£12), SM, PM and CC (£10 each) and EP (£6).

All those comrades made their contributions via bank transfer or standing order, while a further seven used PayPal. Thanks also to comrades TB (£95), PM (£50), ST (£20), AB (£11), not to mention comrades NL, SO and AR, who all chipped in with a fiver.

In other words, we still need £1,716 in the next two and a half weeks. I’m confident we can get there, but can we go shooting past that target to try and make up for last month’s shortfall? Let’s hope so. Please play your part to help ensure the Weekly Worker can continue to fulfil its essential role in building the principled, genuinely democratic-centralist Marxist party that our movement so desperately needs!
