Have some money

Recently Green Left received a letter from �
a subscriber. "Dear GLW," it read. "Have some money." �
Enclosed was a cheque for $50.

Green Left Weekly receives no corporate funding. We �
will not run sexist, racist or otherwise exploitative or misleading �
advertisements. Therefore we receive little interest, and even less �
money, for ads.

Green Left is not funded by a rich entrepreneur. It is �
sustained by readers, contributors and supporters. None of us �
individually have the financial resources to keep Green Left �
running. Yet together we ensure that it survives.

Green Left does not own any capital. It must rent, beg �
or borrow everything it needs to produce the paper from week to week. �
The only capital it has is political — the ongoing support of �
those who value Green Left's strong and independent perspective.

This is why letters of the kind mentioned are so important. �
Letters like that keep the presses turning and the issues alive.

Not everyone who reads Green Left Weekly has the �
resources to give $50. Yet increasingly we receive an extra $10 or $20 �
on top of a subscription, or a small cheque will come in the mail �
— the little extra that helps us find our way through the monthly �
bills.

Whatever you can give, whatever you can do, your �
contribution to the Green Left project will make a difference. �
Send donations or inquiries to Green Left Weekly, PO Box 394, �
Broadway, NSW 2007. Green Left Weekly — it's your �
newspaper.
