The Irish Anti-War Movement, supported by PANA and the NGO Alliance, is organising a major International conference against war and occupation on Saturday October 13th in the Royal Dublin Hotel. Our objective is to bring together key figures from countries in the brunt of the storm with anti-war activists here in Ireland and elsewhere in Europe. Tickets €10.00 at door or Purchase Ticket On-Line. There also events in Galway and Derry.
The conference will challenge the myths and propaganda peddled by the main stream media and discuss practically how we can build the movement of resistance to war and occupation over the coming months. Unity of the anti war movement across organisational and territorial boundaries and solidarity with those who fight the illegal occupation of their country is what we seek. We must mobilise our support and push the Government not only through motions in the Dail but also in the streets through a major national demonstration planned for Nov 10th.
