Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5150 women, children and men joined the strike events in either or all of Galway, Ennis and Shannon. Women from West Africa, South Africa, Iraq, Ireland and from the Roma community collectivly made women's case against war, demanding invest in caring not killing. Women from all over Ireland [North and South], including women of colour at Shannon airport where there was huge security presence at the fence and terminal plus barricades at terminal. Great music, women and men spoke out, readings from anti war plays and poetry, all undaunted by the rain. Live radio link ups, including with women in Belfast via the ASF Women's Commission and the chance to talk to the anti-war movement and Global Women's Strike in the US via KPFK radio in LA. Westmeath anti-war group women also distributing Strike material at their event and Strike also highlighted in women's events in Belfast and women's protest outside the Dail in Dublin etc....At Shannon, women from Derry said, 'Call that a security fence?!'. A GWS report will be out soon.
PS The Galway Strike working group worked to *co-ordinate* the Strike in Ireland, which was a grassroots women's action, autonomous of any other anti-war organisation. We had support from MAMA, Organise! - ASF, ASF Women's Commission, Clare Women's Network, Roma Support Group, Women in Media and Entertainment and many individual women and men. The Strike was led by women and for women with several men doing support work.
Great to see a successful and well-organised demo, and one that is free from the faction-fighting we have seen recently.
The liars at RTE reported only 1,000 at Cork march when apparently there were 4,000.
They also said there were only 200 at the US embassy in Dublin.
Now they might be fibbers but 200?
Dublin IAWM where the f*** were you?
