A remembrance on the 150th anniversary of one of the deadliest anti-immigrant riots in American history, the Bloody Monday Massacre of August 6, 1855 was held in Louisville Kentucky on Saturday, August 6th, 2005.

A glaring gap in the Socialist Party's national network and in the political scene of Galway has recently been filled by the first moves towards creating a branch proper in Galway. This follows a recent visit to Galway by Joe HIggins where he spoke on the GAMA issue and attracted much support and interest. The first issue with which Galway S.P. members have become involved is in the Shell to Sea campaign and their arrival has been broadly welcomed by both individuals and other groups on the left in Galway. Meetings will be held upstairs in Java's Coffeeshop on the first and third wednesday of every month and all are welcome. ... read full story / add a comment
