Butterfields tenants join TUSC campaign

We have 17 candidates in Waltham Forest, and local people are getting used to seeing us everywhere - at stations, shopping areas, schools, workplaces and colleges.
One highlight has been a team of Butterfields tenants who have come out to door-knock with us, and to leaflet with us at the local station.
In 2016 Socialist Party members assisted these tenants to fight eviction. They achieved a famous victory when all the homes were saved.
Now the tenants are calling for a vote for TUSC. Where there used to be 'Butterfields Won't Budge' posters in the windows, there are now 'Vote TUSC' ones!

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.
