PRESS STATEMENT

"The meaning of May Day and Anarchism"

As part of the Mayday celebrations in Belfast this
year Organise! will be hosting a number of public
talks on the meaning of May Day and anarchism.

Organise! member, Sean Matthews:

"If we look around today, we see many of the gains
that workers like the Chicago Martyrs fought for being
swept away, from privatisation of our 'public' services,
victimisation and bullying at work or in the moves to
introduce water privatisation and charges by 'our'
local assembly. Our history is a history of struggle
and resistance, a history that demonstrates that as
working class people we can organise ourselves and run
society on the basis of workers' control and direct
democracy. Ultimately, our real strength and power to
transform society lies in our workplaces and
communities not in the corridors of power - whether at
Westminister, Stormont or Dublin."

As August Spies, one of the Chicago Martyrs, said:

"The time will come when our silence will be more
powerful than the voices you strangle today."

Where:

Monday 7th May, 7.30: An Cultúrlann at 216 Falls Road,
W.Belfast

Tuesday 8th May, 7.00: Ballynafeigh Community Centre,
S.Belfast

(Just Books, Organise!) Saturday 12th May, 1pm:
Belfast Unemployed Resource Centre, 45/47 Donegall
Street

Contact: 07928479308

STATEMENT ENDS

Organise! will be assembling for the annual mayday march at 11.30 this Saturday the 5th May at Custom House Square in Belfast city centre
