Show your support for those under Israeli bombardment

A MARCH to be held in Cork city next Saturday in solidarity with the people of Lebanon and Palstine. We urge those appalled at the ongoing slaughter to please attend and do not come alone: bring your friends, your workmates, your relatives! It is important that we have a significant presence next Saturday in order to make our voices heard against the mass murder of civilians by the Israeli armed forces.

Time: 2pm, Saturday, 12th August

Place: Assemble on Daunt Square (junction of Patrick St. and Grand Parade)

NOTE: This march is being held at the same time as a very important solidarity demonstration in Dundalk and Anti-War Ireland is requesting everybody to do their best to make it to the IPSC/IAWM Dundalk march. The march in Cork is for those who are unable to travel north.

Next Saturday's Cork march is organised jointly by Anti-War Ireland, the IPSC and the IAWM.

In addition, the Cork branch of Anti-War Ireland is holding a public meeting on Wednesday night, 9th August, in the Spailpin Fanach, South Main Street, about the campaign to demilitarise Shannon airport. Starting at 8pm, the speakers are two of the recently acquitted anti-war activists: Ciaron O'Reilly (Pitstop Ploughshares) and Deirdre Clancy (Pitstop Ploughshares and Dublin branch of Anti-War Ireland).
