Donating to the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign

Please see our fundraising email below. Please use it  or adapt it to circulate to contacts to help us with our continued campaigning.

Dear Comrades and Friends

The 1984-85 miners’ strike has over the years produced a wide range of events and activities throughout Britain celebrating and commemorating the epic struggle. Many of these events have been organised or have an input or presence from the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign.

Since our formation in 2012 the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign has been campaigning for an inquiry into state organised police brutality used against striking miners at the Orgreave coking plant in 1984. The Conservative Government refused any kind of inquiry. The new Labour Government have made a commitment to an investigation or inquiry into Orgreave in their recent manifesto. We are urging the Labour Government to organise this as a priority.

We are writing to you to appeal for funds to support costs involved in organising our various Orgreave events and activities. All our funding comes from individual activists and the Labour and Trade Union movement either through donations, buying our fundraising merchandise or funding in kind. The 40th Anniversary of the Miners’ Strike year has involved increased expenditure. We need to carry on fundraising to be able to continue with our campaigning work.
