Have some money

Issue 

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.
