Inside LabourStart

We are about to launch a new campaign on Libya later today.

All our campaigns went offline for several hours earlier this week due to a hardware failure at our host in Iceland. Our hosting company, the Sheffield-based WebArchitects coop, was quick to set up an alternative server for us.

Svensson Prize: LabourStart has been asked who we proposed as possible recipients of next year’s Svensson prize (which we won in 2016). If anyone has any suggestions, please share with me by email.

Closing campaigns: We’ve taken the first steps toward closing down our campaigns in Belarus and Kazakhstan, but for now both campaigns remain live.

A US keylist: I’ve taken the first steps toward building a small database of our key supporters in the USA, which we can use to help plan our growth there.
