Fighting fund – summer offensive!
We hope that what you have read in the Socialist Appeal this month will help inspire you to stand up to the capitalist system and join Socialist Appeal in the fight to change it. The bosses have access to the mass media, the press and television to peddle their lies. Opposition to all this is rarely allowed to be shown, except in a twisted and distorted form. So we have to do the job ourselves. The task of Socialist Appeal is to explain and fight for Marxist ideas and demands in the Labour movement and amongst the youth.
But our resources are weak. Big business provides millions for their papers, we have to rely on the honest support of ordinary working people to keep going. We rely on the financial contributions of our readers and supporters to keep the red flag flying. Donations to the Fighting Fund are a vital part of this. The editorial board have set the target of £2,000 to be raised this quarter; before the end of July.
We are confident that every reader and seller – and that means you – will respond to this appeal. Remember you are the only source of finance we have or want. So lets get that cash in!
