NF youth in Brixton mobilised by the fascists in this period of acute social and economic crisis.
The labour movement must be on its guard. Wörkers' defence squads must be established as and where necessary to combat racist and fascist And a fight must be waged within the labour movement for policies to combat; the Tory offensive on jobs, housing and social services: it is the conditions of poverty, homelessness, frustration and oppres sion which provide the fertile breeding ground for the fascists.
The continuing high levels of inflation and our decision to | peg the price of Socialist tress at 20p is exacting a high toll on our finances.
Clearly we don't want to cut back on any areas of our work. We think it is essential to maintain our women's paper and our financial assistance to the Socialist Youth League and its paper Red Youth.
And we certainly don't wish to cut back any further on Socialist Pręss. So we have to have more money. And that is why we have decided to launch a'' $2,500 Special Fund to be raised during the next four months with the completion date of Sunday 19 July-the first day of the WSL Summer But to tide us over our immediate financial commitments we need to have the tirst £750 of this fund in by Friday 10 April.
Members and supporters of the Workers Socialist League will be pledging money to this ---*11 L- 1 _ 1_' fund during the next few days. So we would like to appeal to readers of Socialist Press.
It you appreciate the coverage of working class struggles and the political direction given chance to help us continue that work.
Send us a donation, however large or smáll-once a month if you like!
