What we do

By Mark Ferguson / @markfergusonuk

Did you see the story LabourList broke recently about London Tories charging kids for access to their playgrounds? It was outrageous – cuts literally taking exercise and enjoyment from the city’s children. Cuts like that are happening across the country. We need to expose the Tory agenda that damages our communities and hurts the growth of our economy.

That’s why LabourList is so important to our fight-back against the government.

Over the coming months LabourList will be getting into shape for the coming battles – a new look, more features, and some campaign tools too.

To be completely honest, we don’t have enough money to do that now, and we need your help. Donate £10 by clicking here:

We’ve made a good start. Since we made our last appeal two weeks ago, dozens of you have already donated – almost £1,000. It’s a great start and it will help LabourList.

But we can’t settle for that because we have big plans for the site, with an improved layout, new contributors and more campaigns on the issues that will make a difference. I am working on the plans again today and will be able to share more detail over the next weeks – and how ambitious I can be depends on how much we raise this week.

LabourList is what we make of it – by taking the fight to the Tories, we’re showing that Labour’s grassroots has what it takes. Now we need you to chip in. Whether it’s £5, £10, £20 or more, everyone can all play a role in building a strong Labour netroots to fight this government. Click here to donate:

Thanks to your support, LabourList will go from strength to strength in battling this Tory government.
