Appeal for practical support for SP Councillor

Dear Comrades and Supporters,

I am finding it increasingly impossible to properly take up all the important concerns of residents: Victoria Park, Banco, child care, Noone St laneway, footpath trading, liquor licences, workers' rights etc.

Really - to do the job of Councillor properly - it should be fulltime. I believe Councillors who do the job properly actually have more power and responsibilities that State MPs, at least backbenchers.

The Socialist Party is currently raising the money to employ a fulltime organiser based in Melbourne, with much of their responsibilities being to support my role as Councillor. This will make my role as SP Councillor much more productivity and effective.

We still need to raise $4000 to get to our target to take on the organiser, Anthony Main, (who is currently a shop steward in the metal industry).

I am appealing to you directly, as a subscriber to this email list, to consider either a donation to this $4000 appeal or a regular donation to support the wages.


Yours in anticipation,

Stephen Jolly
