Help fund the Socialist Party's stand as part of TUSC
TUSC May 2018 campaigning (Click to enlarge)
Socialist Party members are already out campaigning for Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) candidates ahead of May's elections. In London it is vital that there is an anti-austerity socialist alternative to Labour Mayor Sadiq Khan and the Labour-dominated Greater London Assembly (GLA) as they continue attacks on workers' jobs, income and working conditions.
That's why TUSC is planning to stand 25 candidates in the London list for the GLA, and candidates in three of the constituency seats - to make sure everyone in London has the opportunity for an anti-austerity candidate. This stand requires a total of £8,000 in deposits. And we still have £1,000 to raise.
In Liverpool it is just as vital that TUSC stands in the Liverpool city mayoral elections, in opposition to the rotten cuts-making Labour council. To stand in this election TUSC will need to raise a deposit of £5,000. As a component part of the coalition, the Socialist Party needs your fundraising to help us pay our part.
Can you help make sure that we have the necessary funds to put towards TUSC's election deposits? £10, £20, £50, £100 or more, no matter what the amount it all helps to make sure we can fund a real anti-austerity election campaign.

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.
