Help keep a leading anti-capitalist website online

Mike Slocombe | 28.11.2003 10:30

A leading anti-capitalist website is under threat through lack of funds. Due to it immense popularity the amopunt of bandwidth used has dramaticly increased many times over since it was first launched way back in 1996. This website is a major resource for anarchists, leftists and greens. Fundraising ideas such benefit gigs, squat parties, or other help would be greatly appreciatted.

I currently fund the website out of my own pocket using web work for other sites to provide funding but at the current rate of increase in bandwidth I dont think I will be able to keep the website going for much longer. In order to keep the site an independant voice it recieves no advertising or sponsership from any companies. So please help out if you can. Any bands who would be willing to do benefit gigs for the site, or promotors who could put on squat parties would be appreciated greatly.
