12th April Demonstration "Cacerolada" in SHANNON MAMA will be next Saturday in Shannon. In this Tuesday meeting the Pacifist group of Limerick and Clare have decided to respond to the Largest non-violent Demonstration for the peace ever done in Shannon Airport that it is going to happen next 12th April. The idea that we propose is that every single person in brings a pot or a saucepan and bang it with any spoon, fork or stick or whatever can make noise. Feel free to bring anything that can make the louder sound possible (we also recommend to bring ear plugs). This idea of the "Cacerolada" has been performed with a huge success in Barcelona (Spain) were hundreds of thousands of people are going to the streets almost every weekend since the war started banging any single pot, plate, pan or casserole (here it comes the name in Spanish) to be heard ... read full story / add a comment
