In August Direct Action organised a speaking tour of Australia by Venezuelan revolutionary youth leader Heryck Rangel. In September-October, Direct Action organised a speaking tour of Australia by Indonesian feminist socialist Vivi Widyawati. These tours and the continued existence of Direct Action depend solely on the support of our readers. In early June we launched an appeal for $35,000 in donations through to the end of 2010. So far we’ve received $7960.

Help keep alive the spirit of international solidarity and make a donation to the DA fund appeal, by sending a cheque or money order to Direct Action, Suite 72, 65 Myrtle Street Chippendale, NSW 2008 or by making a donation via PayPal.
