Back on the streets and raring to go
With Covid restrictions being relaxed, the Morning Star is taking part in the People’s Assembly demo today – but the daily paper of the left still needs your support to make sure it survives, says editor BEN CHACKO
The Morning Star banner out on the streets in 2015

TODAY, more than 15 months since the first lockdown began, the Morning Star is back on the streets.

It isn’t strictly the first time — we organised a distribution at the national Palestine solidarity demonstration on May 22, and street sales of the paper have resumed in parts of the country. 

And we’re still taking precautions of course. When the decision was taken not to fully relax Covid-19 restrictions on June 21, we consulted an expert before proceeding with plans to distribute the Morning Star at today’s People’s Assembly demo.
