Howdy, my name is Frank Cordarro and I'm visiting Dublin to support the Pit Stop Ploughshares awating a retrial for their plowshares/disarmament action at Shannon Airport. The action was in Feb. 2003, their retrial is at Dublin's Four Courts Oct. 24th. 2005.

I've just been released from county jail in Iowa for civil disobedience against the war on Iraq. I live in a CW community in Des Moines with homeless folks. Most of my nonviolent resistance which has lead to years in jail has been at Stracom/Omaha. Below is 1)a history of Stratcom & 2) nonviolent resistance to it.

While in Dublin I'm hoping to meet with peace activists. Hope you can come to Wenesday's public meeting (Teachers Club 7.30pm), Thursday refelction (11 Talbot St.) or the Thursday night party. read full story / add a comment

Corporate Power & the Right to Food

Why Corporate Accountability is Essential for Making Poverty History

Guest Speaker: Julian Oram, Action Aid UK

Powerful global food companies are undermining the fight against poverty in developing countries. They are draining wealth from rural communities, marginalising small scale farming, and infringing peoples rights. Urgent action is needed to re-govern agricultural markets so they benefit poor people, and to make companies legally accountable for their impacts on human rights and the environment.

Public Forum this Wednesday, 18th May, 2005 at 8.00 pm.

Venue: Shandon Court Hotel

Admission is free & all are welcome. read full story / add a comment

Urbana Champaign are probably one of the best organised Indymedia collectives in the global network. They recently raised enough money to buy their own premises - a 30,000 square foot post office. One of their volunteers Sascha Meinrath is also the co-ordinator of the Champaign-Urbana Community Wireless Network. In this interview with Amy Goodman, Sascha explains what the project is about, how viable it is and the problems they've encountered with large telcos who are lobbying US government - and succeeding - to have a legislative monopoly on the provision of information networks. read full story / add a comment

On Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd June we will have the Full Moon on the Summer Solstice celebrated on Tara as we express our right of free association and assembley for spiritual purposes at our ancesteral temples.

Druidschool has set up Tara Pilgrimage 2005 - to lift the priests curse on Tara and to replace it with a Celtic Druids Blessing. We will do this over a 24-hour event from Sunrise on Tuesday 21 to Sunrise on Wednesday 22, which will also include Moonrise and Moonset.

We will lift the curse (8pm Tue) with drumming; barefoot dancing with the crystal fire from the pilgrim's quartz's and then with many others - we will offer a Celtic Druids Blessing for Tara.

Please bring some small kindling, dress in layers and bring a blanket. Bring some rock quartz to this Tara Pilgrimage and take a different piece home. The above ceremonies are free and open to all.

Details on the link below under Tara na Rí. read full story / add a comment

Full Moon, 23rd May 2005, Monday, Tara. This is the last Full Moon “Ritual of Protection” by Druidschool before the Full Moon Summer Solstice Tara Pilgrimage 05 on 21/22 June. We will start our sacred fire by 8ish and finish by ten. Meet on the gravel patch beside the Rath of the Synods at 8pm. We will use our native Celtic Irish language during this ceremony with explanations in English. All are welcome to attend this free and open ritual ceremony on Tara. We ask that you bring some wood from your hedge or local forest for the sacred fire. Our intention is to express our freedom and our desire is to protect Tara and Save Tara Valley for the future generations. The valleys and hills beside the Spiritual Jewel of Tara are its Landscape Setting. This holistic understanding is what we wish to protect. We wish to preserve and protect this huge intact complex of temples that surround Tara.
