Born on this day in 1931, the heroic revolutionary faces a dangerous new wave of White House aggression. We must treat his birthday as a rallying cry to resist the illegal siege of Cuba, writes ROGER McKENZIE

AT 95, the Morning Star is still playing the role we have done since 1930 — providing a unique daily voice for peace and socialism amid the deafening clamour of the warmongering and propagandistic capitalist media.
Six days a week, we report on workers’ strikes and struggles, battles for social and climate justice, and in defence of democracy in the face of worsening repression.
We stand with disabled people battling vicious social security cuts, with campaigners jailed for peaceful direct action, for a welfare state not a warfare state.
We bring high-quality analysis of political and economic developments in Britain and globally, and perspectives on working-class culture and sport found in no other publication.
Our wide range of contributors from multiple left parties and none, trade unions and campaigns reflect opinion across the left.
Support the newspaper
Our printed paper is available nationally through shops or home delivery, and distributed regularly at labour movement conferences, demonstrations and picket lines.
You can read our stories on this recently-refreshed website, and PDF edition on your computer or phone, pick up our new Left on Record interview series on our YouTube channel and increasing video footage reportage on strikes or protests.
So the Morning Star is always changing – but it always stays true to its founding mission.
We’ve made it this far, though steep inflation since the Covid pandemic has made it ever more difficult, with the cost of staffing and producing a daily media platform far higher than it was even just a few years ago.
As ever, we need your help to survive and grow.
Donate to the appeal
We have developed a comprehensive 5-year plan to take us to our 100th anniversary in 2030.
In this we have outlined the tasks ahead of us and what we must do to cement our status as the media news hub of the left.
There is much work to be done and we face mounting challenges to get us there.
A major task is to redouble our fundraising efforts over the next five years, as this development work will require significant investment.
Help us overcome these challenges, keep improving our product and reaching new markets by making a donation to our 95th anniversary £95,000 appeal.
If you think the Morning Star is an essential voice on the left, help us to reach our hundredth birthday by donating today.
