Socialist Resistance wants to make a big splash at the European Social Forum. This will be one of the largest political gatherings in Britain for a very long time bringing together thousands of young people, trade unionists and single issue campaigners on many different issues.
For Socialist Resistance this will be an opportunity to introduce ourselves to hundreds and maybe thousands of people we don't normally meet, and who don't normally see the paper.

We are therefore launching an appeal to raise E3000 from our supporters by the end of the year. Put your cheques in the post now.
If you are already a supporter of socialist resistance, think of at least two other people you can ask- and contact them straight away rather than putting it off until tommorow.
If you are not already a supporter, think about becoming one, by making a regular donation, however small, as well as sending us a cheque for this special appeal.
Please think seriously about what you can afford.
If you can't afford it until pay day, then send us an email now to [email protected] letting us know how much you can send and when.
This is an opportunity which won't come round again for a long time. Let's make the best use of the chance we have.
