the Socialist summer fortnightly schedule
The Socialist Party is soon set to carry out its necessary IT upgrade. With our technology upgraded and futureproofed, we will be better prepared to play our important role in the struggle for socialism. Our publications – the Socialist, Socialism Today, our website, leaflets and posters – containing vital ideas, slogans and strategy, can be produced, printed and distributed. All the political and organisational tasks done by staff in the Socialist Party national centre can continue to be completed.
In a reflection of our members’ and supporters’ confidence in our fighting ideas and the tasks that flow from them, the financial appeal to raise the funds for the tech upgrade has had a great response. The target of £15,000 has been smashed. £24,369 has been raised so far. The extra money raised will be used to replace our more aged remaining computers going forward. The appeal remains open until the end of July, and all donations are gratefully received.
This issue, and the next, of the Socialist will be published fortnightly, in part to allow the upgrade to take place. Issue 1238 will be published on 10 August, resuming with a weekly schedule on 24 August.
During the week beginning 14 August, while work is ongoing, there can be no guarantee of emails reaching addresses ending ‘@socialistparty.org.uk’. For this reason, we are asking for contact with the Socialist Party national centre to wait until the following week. Regional organisers will be contactable by the usual means, and centre workers can be reached on their mobile phones.
