Irish Anti-War Movement (IAWM) Bulletin
11 November 2003
Shannon Blockade, etc. etc. The Steering Committee met on 8 November. Plans for building the Blockade at Shannon are coming together. Posters are now available and leaflets will be ready very soon. All were in agreement with emphasizing the peaceful nature of the civil disobedience planned. The blockade will take the form of a passive sit-down protest with protesters linking arms. All protesters will be urged to follow the instructions of the stewards.
In order to alleviate our serious financial situation all anti-war groups are encouraged to try to raise funds for the IAWM (e.g. hold a Christmas Social) and also to sign up all members for the membership subscription (valid Sept. 03 – Sept. 04).
Irish anti-war delegates to the ESF will be arguing strongly that 20 March 2004 (1st anniversary of beginning of invasion of Iraq) be declared a European Day of Action Against the War. There is also a call for international anti-war mobilisation for a protest in Ireland – probably during the planned EU/USA summit – especially if George W. Bush attends.
