Isai Marijerla, Socialist Party treasurer
Every quarter we have a target of £25,000, so we can produce the leaflets and material we need for campaigning. We want to thank everyone who has made a donation. Particularly now with increasing costs.
Socialist Party branches across the country have been campaigning throughout the summer in the streets, communities and workplaces. And, as part of these activities in spreading socialist ideas, our members also collect donations to fund our work.
Recently, Stevenage Socialist Party raised £263.69 through donations for no-longer-needed summer camp equipment. Leeds collected £109.39 at Durham Miners’ Gala, from local Socialist Party stalls campaigning against ticket office closures, and a BBQ social.
Putting forward a socialist message to unite workers to fight oppression, we raised £109 at Swindon Pride, and £100 at Black Pride in London (see ‘LGBTQ+ youth angry about everything’ at socialistparty.org.uk).
Caerphilly collected £24.69 on Socialist Party stalls to save our NHS. And Oxford £36.
Leicester raised £36.01 from sandwiches and cakes supplied by members at an East Midlands Socialist Party meeting (see right). The Socialist Party branches in Waltham Forest and Enfield and Lea Valley hosted a clothes swap, and raised £60. While Bristol raised £135 at a car boot sale.
So far this quarter we have raised £11,598, 46% of our target. The quarter ends on 2 October. Help us to reach our target by making a donation at socialistparty.org.uk/donate.
