Appeal for funds. Workers International News is being read in increasing numbers by workers in South Africa and in a few countries around the globe. We are not funded by the bourgeoisie or funding agency, only by the working class and those who ally themselves with the proletarian cause. We appeal to all our readership and those sympathetic to ending world oppression and exploitation to contribute to our fighting fund, which will help expand our network to the corners of the globe among the working class fighters.
