Socialist Books flood appeal
Wet books: send bucks!
Keith Dickinson, Socialist Books
Socialist Books, the Socialist Party's bookshop, suffered a serious blow recently. A flash downpour flooded the east London cellar where most of our recent stock is stored. Nearly half was lost, including the whole stock of some titles.
This may mean some delays in our dispatch and deliveries. It will definitely mean reprinting some key publications. For those titles needed urgently we will have to consider digital printing, which costs considerably more per copy. Safer storage for the future will also cost a lot more.
We are making a special financial appeal to all readers and sympathisers of the Socialist and Socialism Today. Please help us continue to promote the reading of socialist ideas through Socialist Books.
You can donate over the phone on 020 8988 8777, online at socialistparty.org.uk/donate (write "Books Flood Fund" in the comments box), or in the post to Socialist Books, PO Box 24697, London E11 1YD. Please do not send cash in the post, make cheques payable to "Socialist Books" and mark them for the "Books Flood Fund".

Finance appeal
The coronavirus crisis has laid bare the class character of society in numerous ways. It is making clear to many that it is the working class that keeps society running, not the CEOs of major corporations.
The results of austerity have been graphically demonstrated as public services strain to cope with the crisis.
The government has now ripped up its 'austerity' mantra and turned to policies that not long ago were denounced as socialist. But after the corona crisis, it will try to make the working class pay for it, by trying to claw back what has been given.
- The Socialist Party's material is more vital than ever, so we can continue to report from workers who are fighting for better health and safety measures, against layoffs, for adequate staffing levels, etc.
- When the health crisis subsides, we must be ready for the stormy events ahead and the need to arm workers' movements with a socialist programme - one which puts the health and needs of humanity before the profits of a few.
Inevitably, during the crisis we have not been able to sell the Socialist and raise funds in the ways we normally would.
We therefore urgently appeal to all our viewers to donate to our Fighting Fund.
