DONEGAL ANTI-WAR ALLIANCE: 21/02/03
On Saturday March 1st from 2pm to 4pm, people from all over Ireland and from all walks of life, are invited to hold a COMMUNITY PEACE VIGIL in their village, town or city.
The various branchs of the Donegal Alliance Against War from Bundoran, Ballyshannon and Letterkenny, will be holding their vigil in the market square in Donegal Town. They will be inviting local TDs and politicians, the media, church groups, students, workers, the unemployed and anyone that really wants to get out and make a stand for peace.
The vigil will mark the unnecessary destruction that war brings to Iraq and the globe while displaying publicly that the Irish people do not support a war that could cause endless suffering. The vigil will also be in solidarity with the Donegal protesters who will join the Grassroots Gathering in a day of nonviolent direct action targetting the U.S warport at Shannon.
To do nothing is not an option. Bush promises an 'endless war' and his 'administration' has a list of up to 35 target countries. Bush and his cronies are behaving like terrorists and are certainly creating them. The world stands on the brink of a disaster (in humanitarian and ecological terms) unlike any the world has ever seen. Each individual has a responsibility to act (in whatever way they can) to prevent this madness.
