Support the World Socialist Web Site:
An appeal to our readers

Dear readers,

We are asking you to donate money to sustain and expand the work of the World Socialist Web Site.

On February 14, 2003 the World Socialist Web Site marked its fifth anniversary. Back in February 1998, after one week of publication, our total daily readership was less than 200. Today, the WSWS is accessed by approximately 20,000 readers from all over the world each day. This tremendous growth testifies to the crucial role played by the World Socialist Web Site in the resurgence of genuine socialist thought and the development of a new international mass movement against social inequality, political oppression, neo-colonialism and war.

In the course of five years, the World Socialist Web Site has published more than 10,000 articles, ranging from news reports and analyses of daily political events, commentary on social issues, and essays on historical and philosophical questions to movie reviews and critical appraisals of trends in many areas of popular culture. Underlying all this work has been the unshakeable conviction of the WSWS editorial board that great and history-making movements for human progress and social liberation are nourished by advanced ideas and the quest for truth.

The demands of the current political situation—the Bush administration's war on Iraq, the growing attacks on democratic rights, the deepening economic crisis and the international assault on the living conditions of all working people—confront the World Socialist Web Site with new responsibilities and ever-more challenging tasks.

In order to respond more rapidly and effectively to the inquiries, interests and political needs of our readers, we must update the internet technology used in the daily publication of the WSWS. We must also expand our coverage of important events and struggles all over the world.

This will require substantial financial resources. The World Socialist Web Site does not solicit advertisements. It is independent of all commercial interests.

Therefore, we turn to you, our dear readers, and ask that you contribute generously to the World Socialist Web Site Expansion Fund. Contributions can be made via credit card, check or money order. We urge you to donate as much as you can.
