Young Socialist day of action - We won't mortgage our future

The Tories want to make young people pay for the capitalist crisis. Young Socialists in London, however, made it clear that we are prepared to fight for our future.
In July, Young Socialists organised mega campaign stalls in Finsbury Park, in north London, and Peckham and Vauxhall, in south London, to build a campaign around the youth charter produced by young members of the Socialist Party (see socialistparty.org.uk).
Speaking on the megaphone, we said that we won't mortgage our future for the capitalist crisis. We stressed the importance of young people getting organised and joining and becoming active in a trade union.
We raised our demands - £15-an-hour minimum wage with no exemptions, a mass programme of council house building and real investment in creating socially useful jobs.
These stalls were organised by new, young members of the Socialist Party. Groups of young people enthusiastically signed up to get involved.
Young Socialists is a fighting organisation aiming to bring together young workers and students. We will hold a day of action on A-level results day, 13 August, plus more events in London on 22 August (see back page).

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.
