GOOD morning, comrades — and welcome to your regular update on the drive, determination and donations powering our 95th Anniversary Appeal for the Morning Star.
A huge thank you to the three revolutionary readers who sent £100 each, the socialist who gave £95 for 95 years, and the generous comrades who dropped £50, £20 and £5 into my tin. Your solidarity has pushed our total to £9,689 — within striking distance of our first big milestone: £10,000!
We know family budgets are tight, especially as winter approaches, but remember: the Morning Star stands with you every day. If you can spare £9.50, £95 or £950, put the people’s paper at the top of your Christmas list.
Individual contributions remain the lifeblood of this appeal, but our campaign is gathering strength across the movement. Readers and Supporters Groups from every corner of Britain have met to share ideas and plan fresh initiatives — from trade union collections to jumble sales, socials and street stalls.
Got a creative fundraising idea? Don’t keep it to yourself! After my last column, a comrade from Liverpool offered to broadcast his acclaimed play on the great Paul Robeson — with all proceeds to the Appeal. A perfect example of socialist creativity in action. Watch this space for details.
