Background
Funding
Rosie Mitchell started a GoFundMe page:
- I’m Rosie and I am standing as an Independent Socialist in the upcoming by-election. This fundraiser started out to cover the deposit to stand independently, after funding that in under 24 hours (thanks to your generosity and solidarity) we are now trying to push our campaign to reach as many people as possible.
- Any further donations will be used for printing election materials - leaflets, posters, etc. So we can share our message with the electorate and push real socialist policy to the wider community.
- Your support is hugely appreciated by myself and the wonderful team making this campaign possible. We are many! ❤️[2]
