In this bulletin:
1. IPSC stall and leafleting for GAZA, Saturday 23rd August, GPO. 12-2pm.
2. NO TO NATO NATO Protests, Newport, Wales. 30th August – 05th Sept.
3. Donating to the Irish Anti-War Movement.
1. IPSC stall and leafleting for GAZA, Saturday 23rd August, GPO. 12.00-2.00pm.
As the situation in Gaza deteriorates further with extensive Israeli military bombing and huge suffering for the civilian population there it is important to keep up the protests and solidarity work. Please come along to this IPSC stall on Saturday to help with leafleting and informing the public. Bring flags, placards etc. If enough people attend we will march down Henry Street for a boycott awareness action.
2. NO TO NATO PROTESTS, Newport, Wales. 30TH August – 05th Sept.
The Irish anti-War Movement is supporting this event in Wales and sending delegates. If any IAWM members would like to join us you are most welcome.
As NATO member countries stir up tension in the Ukraine and support the horrific Israeli military bombardment of Gaza the momentum for organised resistance to this year’s NATO summit in Newport, Wales has grown.
The increasing sectarian violence in Iraq over the last few weeks has shown
the invasion of Iraq has failed by every measure and the Iraqi people are
suffering.
All the leaders of the key Western powers will be in South Wales for the
NATO summit so we need the biggest possible protests to force them to
break from their aggressive foreign policies. A whole week of protest is
planned during the week of the summit, details of which you can find
below.
Help us build the No to NATO protest.
