Kathy Kelly Introduces the Pit Stop Ploughshares

At 8pm in Wynn's Hotel on Tuesday, June 3rd, Kathy Kelly, co-founder of sanctions-busting group Voices in the Wilderness will introduce the Pitstop Ploughshares five: Ciaron O'Reilly, Karen Fallon, Damien Moran, Deirdre Clancy and Nuin Dunlop. Music will be provided by Liam O'Maonlai of the Hothouse Flowers. Other speakers include Iain Attack and Caoimhe Butterly. Kathy Kelly is a co-founder of Voices in the Wilderness, the first U.S. grassroots organization to bring activists into Iraq to witness the effect of sanctions, to bring food and medicine to the people of Iraq and to educate the public upon their return.

This stemmed from a Missouri protest in which she repeatedly trespassed on
