South East London: Working-class fighters striding forward
I attended a fantastic meeting of South East London Socialist Party on 8 April - 18 attended, maybe more, can't always tell on iPad.
But much more importantly, it was full of working-class fighters - underground, buses, education, housing, and more, plus trade union organisers, experienced socialists, and a number of new people.

West London: Instead of rooms, we are paying for Zooms
We are meeting virtually, but still have costs. Instead of paying for rooms we are paying for Zooms!
We are producing the Socialist Party Workers' Charter and the Socialist newspaper - these say what we need to fight for and how workers can get organised.
So I've started a room money jar to pay into (see above). If you have read our newspaper or our website and want to help us keep doing going during the coronavirus crisis, visit socialistparty.org.uk/donate.

Swansea: Valuable donations to keep Socialist Party going and our message heard
25 members at the Socialist Party branch meeting on 9 April - an interesting discussion on the global economic situation. We had an update on the trade union response to the virus, and reports of workers taking action.
The financial appeal garnered £820. And the people there raised their membership subs by £77, which will be valuable to keep our party going and our messages being heard.
A new member joined the weekend before, and more want to do the same in this difficult period.

North East: We are the working class
The Socialist Party virtual meeting on 9 April was phenomenal. Our meeting underlined how the Socialist Party is rooted in the working class.
Thirty attended, including NHS workers, carers, retail, construction, and IT. A number are shop stewards in their workplaces.
Five people have just joined the Socialist Party. Our Socialist Party members are leading struggles now on health and safety issues in the workplaces and preparing for future battles.

Northampton: Using technology to keep going
I came away from my Socialist Party branch feeling infinitely more positive and inspired by everyone in attendance. I'm so glad we have the technology to be able to continue meeting and building throughout this crisis. Forward to socialism!

Clare Wilkins
Leicester: Workplace issues
We had a very good Socialist Party meeting - some really helpful discussion on workplace issues in these crazy coronavirus times.

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.
