The sales drive for the 1000th issue of the Socialist encouraged our members to go out onto the streets every week to sell the paper and talk to the people in our community.

Many members of the public are showing great support and we recently sold over 100 papers at Moor Street train station alone.

It shows that working class people are enraged with the failures of the Blairite Birmingham Labour council and its attacks on public housing, the NHS and, most recently, home care workers.

The people of Birmingham want change. The Socialist is the paper that informs on the struggles and battles won by the working class throughout the country.

We show people the relevant articles in the Socialist which explain the need to fight for socialism.

We will continue to hold more paper sales on a weekly basis outside train stations, coach stops and busy streets.

And we will continue to encourage working class people to use the potential power they have to change society so that it works for them.
