Organised SOCIALIST Organiser fights to act as a real SOCIALIST Organiser fights to act as a real campaigning paper which can organise workers in the struggle for new leadership.
To do so we need consistent support and money. Socialist Organiser Alliance groups have been established in most big towns.
Why not join with us? Supporters are asked to. undertake to sell a minimum of 6 pap:•; per week and contribute at least £1.50 OUR Socialist Organiser group in Basingstoke has recently more than doubled numbers from ten sapporters to 22.
The new supporters are in the main not experienced political açtivists, but working class people who have become interested as a result of our campaigning over the last year.
The Socialist Organiser group played a big role in a rent strike against the Tory Council last year, and since the defeat of the strike, we've taken the struggie par. nonth (20p for unwaged).
If there is no group in your help us to build one?
To 'Get Organised" , Write at 28 Middle Lane, London N8.
Name Address into the constituency Labour Party, trying to make sure that Labour wins the local elections this year and is committed to cheap rents.
So Socialist Organiser is now increasingly influential in the CLP, as well as keeping a longer-established influence in the Trades Council and the LPYS. New support has come especially from workers in the local Post Office and the GMWU branch at the hospital.
We've also made some progress on what has long been a weakness of our group in Basingstoke_ political education_with three educational groups going.
We feel sure that other local groups that combine vigorous campaigning in direct action struggles with . a consistent fight inside the labour movement and bold and confident efforts to convince individuals of Socialist Organiser's ideas, can make similar progress.
