Don’t miss May Day greetings deadline!


Bob Severn

The deadline for sending May Day greeting messages to the Socialist – 10 April – is approaching fast.

May Day greetings celebrate International Workers’ Day while helping to fund the Socialist, the paper that fights all cuts.

International Workers’ Day commemorates the first US-wide general strike which took place on 1 May 1886 and the workers who were killed due to the actions of the police.

To help drive through its austerity programme, the government – with the help of the capitalist media – tries to divide us, including by race, by nationality, by gender, by age, between the employed and unemployed.

Socialist alternative

The Socialist fights for working class and middle class people to unite across Britain and internationally to make the banksters pay for their crisis.

The paper puts forward a socialist alternative based on the needs of the majority, not the profits of a few billionaires.

Your May Day greeting can help show that workers, young people and the unemployed are uniting to fight back, and what issues you are campaigning on.

By doing so you’ll help the Socialist continue to report that fightback and put forward a strategy to take the fight against all cuts forward, including the demand for a 24-hour general strike.

Give your greeting

The Socialist appeals for greetings from, for example, your trade union branch, shop stewards group, anti-cuts campaign, Youth Fight for Jobs group, Socialist Students society, or Socialist Party branch.

You can use the pledge sheet to collect donations from supporters in your workplace or campaign group – use the contact details below to order your copy.
