February 14, 2018 marked the 20th anniversary of publication of the World Socialist Web Site. In these 20 years, we have published more than 66,000 articles in 22 languages covering the all world's major political, cultural, and scientific developments. In doing so, the WSWS has laid the basis for the rebirth of a modern socialist movement. The success of the WSWS has depended entirely on the support of its readers. We have never charged for access to material and have not relied on commercial advertisements. We have no billionaire backers or corporate sponsors. We are appealing to all our readers to mark the 20th anniversary of the WSWS by making a substantial financial contribution. A donation of $200 on the 20th anniversary will go a long way in helping us build and develop the WSWS. Sign up to become a WSWS Subscriber by setting up a monthly donation. If you make a monthly donation already, consider increasing it. Your financial support is crucial to the essential work of the WSWS. The site is leading the fight against internet censorship, in the face of efforts by corporations like Facebook and Google, conspiring with governments internationally, to block access to left-wing and anti-war websites, above all the WSWS itself. We are fighting to mobilize workers and youth internationally against the threat of world war, expanding social inequality, and the growth of authoritarianism. To keep pace with a growing readership, we are continually expanding the technical foundations of the site and utilizing video, livestreaming and other forms of multi-media. The WSWS is also in the final stages of a comprehensive redesign, which will greatly improve readability and functionality. All of this requires financial resources. Please donate today! |
