Your support is needed to ensure that we are able to continue to raise the ideas of socialism inside the Labour and trade union movement. We have no big business backers lurking behind the scenes just the honest support of workers and youth up and down the country.

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, Poplar, London, E14 6WG. So why not make that investment in socialism and send us what you can without delay – be it £1, £20 or £200. It all counts.
