The fifth Grassroots Gathering ran from Friday 27th to Sunday 29th in Dublin. Over 160 libertarian activists from different movements opposed to neo-liberalism and war took part in a very ambitious programme of events. The levels of energy were high, and participants seemed to take control of the event for themselves without problems. A highpoint was the involvement of two Argentinian community activists from the massive movement against neo-liberalism there.

Key outcomes include setting up working groups towards actions around the World Economic Forum meeting this October, agreement to hold an assembly in a few weeks' time to take this further, agreement to keep anti-war networks alive in some form, and the offer by Galway to host the next Gathering after the WEF. ... read full story / add a comment

On June 3rd I received a letter from Aer Rianta's lawyers (Aurthur Cox) threatening me with imprisonment if I attend further demos at Shannon airport. Shortly afterwards, Commandant Ed Horgan and fellow planespotter and peacecamper Conor Cregan received identical threats.

see my reply to this at.

this week I got another letter, not answering my questions but repeating over and over the same threat. HERE is my reply which I will hand deliver to Aurthur Cox's offices tomorrow during Grassroots.

They don't want to debate the war, now they want to stifle protest. And these are the people who tell us they're safeguarding democracy. ... read full story / add a comment
