Here's some more photos from our weekly stall raising funds and awareness for Mary Kelly's retrial. We've been getting a great response from people on the streets of Galway. With her re-trial set for June 15th, it's even more crucial now that people get behind this case. This woman was brave enough to put her freedom on the line in order to challenge Shannon's usage by an aggressive foreign military presence. Now the people of Ireland should be out supporting her. So write to the papers, phone up the radio, print leaflets off the webpage and hand them out, donate/raise funds...whatever you can think of. This case will have reprecussions for us all.

Peace campaigner and environmentalist Eoin Dubsky is running for election to the European Parliament and he needs your help. Because he is running as an independent candidate in the East (Leinster) constituency for the European election, he needs 60 registered voters from the area to sign up as "assenters" endorsing his campaign. The authorities have made it quite difficult, where you need to sign the nomination form in the County Council head office during office hours next week only , and not including lunch. ... read full story / add a comment

Moreover, these unprecedented mobilisations show a strong political will to impose universal peace, justice, international solidarity and social equality on those in power. That day a new Europe was born. A rank and file Europe that is confronting the European Union and the ruling classes whose instrument it is. ... read full story / add a comment
