The Blob has sunk to new depths in its quest to destroy educational freedom. No wonder, says Randall Hardy. It's only the right to withdraw children from the state system that restrains its worst indoctrinating tendencies.

The Amalgamated Transport and General Workers Union (ATGWU) have a motion down for next Tuesday night's Dublin Council of Trade Unions (DCTU) General Delegates Meeting calling on them to have their traditional May Day March, or to at least support the alternative May Day March organised by the Another Europe Is Possible (AEIP) mobilising by having their banner on the march and informing their members of it, in other words to reverse their outrageous decision to cancel their traditional annual May Day March. I think that it's really important to get as many sympathetic delegates as possible along on Tuesday night and that we should all speak out loudly and forcibly in favour of the ATGWU motion. I'm calling on anyone reading this who knows someone involved with the DCTU or Trade Unions generally to strongly encourage them to attend, and to participate in Tuesday night's meeting. read full story / add a comment

Please circulate this alert widely - especially to anti-fascist
groups and media in Germany.

We would like to bring your attention to the antecedents of the
right-wing groups that plan to hold a camp to promote religious
violence in India. The camp is organized by the Hindu Swayamsevak
Sangh, the international wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh
(RSS).

It will be held at Haus-Veste-Nyestadt - Schullandheim, 51702
Bergneustadt, from April 9-12 of this year.

We are calling upon anti-fascist groups to actively oppose the camp. read full story / add a comment
