This is a reminder to come out to IQ's Immigrant Freedom Ride contingent, tomorrow (Saturday) -- and to make sure everyone knows that Wyclef Jean is a headline performer at the event! (So is local homophobe Cardinal Egan, but whatever.)

We'll have signs that identify us as Irish community members and queers supporting the demands of immigrant workers: legalization, fair rewards for work, and civil and human rights. Our signs will also demand that queer immigrants -- not just traditional, heterosexual immigrant families -- be included in that struggle. Bring your own signs if you can...

From about 5pm thursday evening a blockade was placed on the Council waste depot at Grangegorman on the north side of Dublin. This was to disrupt the evening rubbish collection in the city centre. More than eighty people took part.

I came down the Grangegorman Road about 4.30 this evening. As I passed the depot all was quiet so I went a further couple of hundred yards until I met between seven and ten people waiting at the corner of a side street. I only recognised a couple of them. A couple more seemed to be members of the media, one of them had a video camera. Someone else had a sack with some placards.

We waited there until close to 5pm, then began to make our way up toward the depot. As we arrived more people were also arriving, some in small groups and others on their own. Some of the people were from nearby houses. We began to walk around in a circle in front of the depot gate. The placards had words to the effect "How to defeat this tax" and had sp read full story / add a comment

At last Sunday's Irish Anti-War Movement AGM, a decision was taken to support a demonstration called by the Tralee Anti-War Group to be held at the forthcoming Ard Fheis of Fianna Fail. This annual jamboree of the corrupt and the corruptible is due to be held on Saturday week in Killarney. It is vital that people make a serious effort to get to this demonstration, which will be focused on the abuse of Shannon airport as a U.S. military refuelling stop. read full story / add a comment
