Fighting fund - summer offensive!
First of all, everybody at ‘Socialist Appeal’ would like to thank all those readers and sellers in the UK who collectively contributed the magnificent sum of 5,200 Euros towards the annual summer fund raising drive promoted by the In Defence Of Marxism site to help support the development of Marxist ideas internationally. There is no doubt that in the Labour and trade union movement, the best elements have always raised international solidarity above all else in a tradition that goes back to the very origins of the movement.
However, now we must turn our attention to the urgent task of raising cash during the autumn for Socialist Appeal’s own fighting fund. To keep a socialist journal like ours going requires more than just the income from sales, important though that is. The papers and magazines of the capitalist class benefit from handouts given in the form of advertising to keep going. If all else fails they can pump millions in to keep their titles up and running – usually linked to a bit of job cutting, naturally. On the other hand, our only backers are you. So why not invest in a socialist future? Even a small donation is of value in keeping the flag flying. For example, £10 could pay for production of a leaflet, £50 could help fund a pamphlet. In the build up to Xmas last year, we had a great response to our drive to buy a new collator/finisher – let’s see if we can match it this year.
Donations can be made online by going to
www.wellred.marxist.com. You can also go into any branch of Abbey and
pay over the counter to us via account K2018479SOC in the name of
SASC. Donations can also be made by post (again make cheques payable to
SASC) by sending them to us at PO Box 50525, London, E14 6WG. So why
not make an investment in socialism and send us what you can without
delay - every bit helps.
