Description
White a2 poster, Red writing at the top saying 'Communist Party 60,000 fund. ' Underneath is a large red rectangle with the '60,000 ' printed largely in white, with pictures of people in the letters - looks like they are protesting. The bottom of the poster is white paper, with red writing which says 'More power in the fight for left policies.' Can assume that this poster is the Communist Party asking for donations, with a goal of 60,000 or a pre-existing fund that they are celebrating. The reverse inscription says 'March 1976' - the party's success was declining in the 1970s due to memberships and issues within the party - this could possibly explain why there was a fund.
