A public call on the Irish Anti War Movement and all the rest of the Anti war organisations to co-ordinate major Anti war protests with this year's May Day marches
A Chara Irish Anti War Movement
With May Day (May 1ST) just over 3 weeks away and with the annual May
Day marches organised by the Trade Unions taking place on May Day I
am publicly calling on the Irish Anti War Movement and all the rest
of the Anti war organisations to co-ordinate major Anti war protests
with the May Day marches because many of the issues that workers will
be marching over on May Day are directly tied into the causes of the
war against the people of Iraq and all wars and because us workers
are the key to stopping this bloody slaughter in Iraq and all future
wars that the US/UK imperialist colonist alliance will launch against
many innocent civilians in many different countries so that's why I
proposed a motion through my Union Branch that was passed unanimously
calling on the Dublin Trades Council to make opposition to war the
main theme of this year's (2003's) May Day march and not just in
Dublin either! This also applies to the Irish Congress of Trade
Unions nationally and to the various Trades Councils around the
country! When I initially raised the idea of asking the Dublin
Trades Council through my Union to make opposition to war this year's
(2003's) Dublin Trades Council May Day march main theme I thought
that perhaps bad and all as this war would be that it would be over
by May Day, which as things stand probably will still turn out to be
the case, but then of course who's next on Bush's/Blair's hit list?.
I would like to know what other measures has anybody else taken to
tie in major Anti war marches with this year's May Day rallies?
Remember there's no business as usual while war is waged against
civilian populations! Regarding this year's Dublin May Day protest I
can confirm that this year's May Day march will again be held on May
Day itself (i.e. May 1ST), starting at The Garden Of Remberance,
Parnell Square at 7:00PM, which this year happens to fall on a
Thursday, which should ensure a good turnout considering that
Thursday night is late night shopping night in Dublin city centre.
