Makes sense

Robert Rix reports on the Weekly Worker fighting fund

“As an SLP member there is no point reading Socialist News - on the rare occasions it comes out. It tells me nothing about what is going on in my party. Only your Weekly Worker gives me a glimpse of what is actually going on! I don’t agree with everything, but I have no choice but to read it.” These were the words of comrade BH as he renewed his subscription and gave us a “critical” donation of £25.

Of course, almost exactly the same could be said of our coverage of the Socialist Alliances, Independent Labour Network, Socialist Party, etc. So we urge supporters of left organisations who are already reading the Weekly Worker to take out a subscription and send us donations on a regular basis. C’mon, you know it makes sense - don’t you?

Thanks to comrades JS, MT, PP and EH for their donations. That took our total to £340, leaving us well short of our monthly £400 target for February. Comrades, we urgently need to make up the shortfall in March.
