Cork anti-war march and rally

A mass anti-war rally and march will be held in Cork city on Saturday, 8 March. Organised by the broad-based Cork Anti-War Campaign, the demonstration will assemble on Daunt Square at 1pm, wind its way through the busiest parts of the city centre, and finish at Emmet Place by the Opera House. Street performers have been invited to participate and, following a short number of speeches, there will be open-air music.

CAWC has produced thousands of A2 posters and tens of thousands of leaflets to advertise this demonstration, and we're hoping that it will be the largest political demonstration seen in Cork for many years.

We are also hopeful that anti-war activists in the county and beyond will organise buses to come to Cork on the day. This demonstration has the potential to be huge if a concerted effort is made to build for it. On March 8th, if you aren't otherwise occupied, please do come to Cork (spend the weekend!) and let's make it clear that the anti-war movement is here to stay!!
