Quarterly fund-raising drive gets off to a good start
In the first few hours of our quarterly fund-raising appeal, we’ve raised over £1,500. We’ve had 35 donations so far in 5 different currencies, and pledges of more to come.
By comparison, in our previous appeal (October) we managed to raise £2,985 in the first 3 days — and £2,188 of that in the first 21 hours. In July we did poorly, raising only £1,844 in the first 10 days online. And last April we raised about £4,050 in the first week of the campaign. So it’s a good start …
The message went out to 22,560 people who have signed up to 3 LabourStart campaigns or more in the last 12 months. This is about 10% larger than the list we used in October.

In addition, once I get some quiet time I’ll be sending our 15-20 letters to Canadian unions and union-side law firms tha have in the past given us money or which should have given us money in the past. 🙂
The total amount transferred from our PayPal account to our bank account in recent days is £3,371.84 – this includes some donations from before the current campaign. Still, it shows that so far, we’re doing well compared to previous efforts.
Already getting commitments from unions in response to the letter sent out earlier this week. If anyone wants to see the letter we send here just ask.
