This is David North, Chairman of the International Editorial Board of the World Socialist Web Site.
For the first time in our history and despite Google's censorship efforts, over one million people read the WSWS last month. I'm writing to ask you to watch this video, which details this growth and appeals to you to support the WSWS financially.
The WSWS is not only commenting on events, it is an active participants in the struggles it reports on. We need to expand our work, and this requires money. The WSWS must hire more staff, expand its global coverage and make use of new web technologies.
The rising tide of the class struggle and the growth of WSWS readership brings both opportunities, real challenges, and dangers. We fully expect that the ruling class will implement new measures to counteract the growth of the WSWS. But the larger the readership, the more determined our supporters, the better prepared we will be for these attacks.

"Our aim," to use the words of Leon Trotsky, "is the full material and spiritual liberation of the toilers and exploited through the socialist revolution." More than ever, we need you to support the work of the WSWS.
Contribute as much money as you can. Join this fight. Don't stand on the sidelines. Become a conscious and determined participant in the most important fight of all: the fight for the socialist future of humanity.
