Worcester: Kill the Bill
(Click to enlarge)
150 people, of all ages, protested against the Tories' anti-protest law. Lots of people signed the Kill the Bill petitions on our Socialist Party campaign stall. People were talking to us about why they were there, their struggles with the police and asking about our party.
The protest went off peacefully with a low police presence. The protest was good natured, and the atmosphere was encouraging. I feel Worcester will be seeing more of these protests during the coming months.

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 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.
- 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.
