Global Women's Strike / Huelga Mundial de Mujeres is an International
network for recognition & payment for all caring work, and the
return of military spending to the community starting with women the main
carers everywhere.
This
Saturday Global Women’s Strike Ireland
will be taking part in national demonstration at Shannon on
Sunday 12th October at 2pm. This is part of a whole weekend of
events at the airport to protest at Ireland’s involvement in thirteen years of
US led warfare. If you want to join them, call 087 7838688.
Galway peace stalwart Margaretta D’Arcy (80),
who was imprisoned twice this
year for opposing US
military flights travelling to war via Shannon airport, is continuing her peace
campaigning. She is calling on Irish people to join the peace demonstration at
that Co. Clare airport on Sunday October 12th to mark the 13th
anniversary of the US military presence there. The Galway Alliance Against War
will be organising a bus to the peace event – those interested in travelling
should contact the group on 087-9159787 or galwayallianceagainstwar@
Musicians, photographic and other
artists are invited to use the public spaces at Shannon to express their
disgust at the airport's 13 years of involvement in renditions, weapons
transportation and global warfare. In addition, groups of peace
activists plan to hold an overnight peace camp and vigil at the airport from
2pm on Saturday Oct 11th. This will continue up until the main event at 2pm on
Sunday Oct 12th.
