Annual fundraising drive takes off; new campaign launched in support of Indonesian miners
Fundraising: One week into our annual fundraising drive and results have been good. We took in nearly £8,000 in 8 days. Thanks to everyone who has donated and who has helped to raise money so far.
Campaigns: We launched a new campaign in support of Indonesian miners, at the request of IndustriALL. Over 3,000 of them signed up the campaign even before we began publicity. This promises to be quite a big one. We did the weekly review of translations of campaigns and mailings into the major languages, and found that we were missing translations in three of our key languages. We followed up with translators, but so far with no results.
Books: We sent out another dozen copies of our book on migrant worker organising to progressive publications, mostly in the USA. Amazon subsidiary CreateSpace is now looking into why we have not been getting their payments.
Conference: We received a detailed answer from the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions and will be discussing this.
Mailing list: We added 180 new subscribers – 124 of those to the English list. This does not include new supporters from the Indonesia campaign (see above).

The Canadian fundraising effort is about half complete, hopefully we can add a fair bit to the already substantial total in the next 2 or 3 weeks.
