Subs campaign: have you increased yours yet?


    Naomi Byron, Socialist Party finance department

    Can you increase your membership subs? Many Socialist Party members have already said yes, pledging an extra £4,700 a month to help fund our campaigning work. If you haven’t already increased, can you join them?

    We are campaigning right up to Christmas, asking every member. At the moment, with the political situation changing so quickly, sometimes from hour to hour, never mind day to day, we need every penny we can to produce campaigning material and respond to events.

    The Socialist Party has no big business backers. All our donations come from members and supporters – working class people and the 99%.

    Our clear socialist answers to the attacks by the right wing of the Labour Party; our opposition to the bombing of Syria and support for the deselection of MPs that voted for bombing: all these things inspire people to give generous financial support.

    Some have increased their membership subs by large amounts, from £50 to over £100 a month. Others have made smaller increases because that’s all their financial situation will allow – around one third of increases are between £1 and £5 per month.

    But all have made a big sacrifice to help fund our work.
