Fighting fund – spring offensive!
Our
thanks to an excellent response from our readers and supporters, the
fighting fund collection over Xmas raised the magnificent sum of
£6,400, beating the target of £6000 we had set ourselves. As we
explained at the time, this money was needed for new machinery in our
print shop- which has now been installed and has drastically improved
the quality and reduced the turnaround time for producing Socialist
Appeal.
We have set a target of £4,000 to be raised this quarter, culminating at our conference in April.
To continue advancing Marxist ideas in the Labour movement we can not
afford to stand still for a moment. The more money we have in, the more
effectively we can intervene and build a strong Marxist tendency in
Britain.
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.
