The Right has spent much of the last decade railing against cancel culture, and was arguably winning the debate. It would be a mistake to abandon that position now.

PRESS RELEASE

A U.S. peace activist, who has spent a total 44 months
in U.S. prisons and jails, is visiting Dublin to
encourage further nonviolent resistance at Shannon
Airport.
Frank Cordarro, a former priest, is the
founder of the Des Moines Catholic Worker community in
Iowa, USA.

Cordarro was recently released from jail after serving
a sentence for trespass at the Iowa National Guard
Headquarters. He stated "29 members of the Iowa
National Guard have been killed in George Bush's
illegal and immoral wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
These are not professional soldiers, they are weekend
warriors who receive minimal training before being
shipped to the battlefied. It saddens me that Ireland,
with its traditions of peacemaking and neutrality,
provides the major pit stop at Shannon Airport for
these young men and women from my state to kill and be
killed. Over 95,000 U.S. military personnel have
passed
through Shannon in the first three months of this
year".

Cordarro has come to Dublin to support the Pit Stop
Ploughshares community who face a second trial in
Dublin's Four Courts on October 24th. The five peace
activists have been charged with $2.5million criminal
damage for disarming a U.S. Navy war plane en route to
the Iraq war in February 2003.

Frank Cordarro will address a public meeting at the
Teachers Club, 36 Parnell Square, on Wednesday May
18th at 7.30pm.

The meeting will also include an address by Dublin
peace activist Michael Bermingham, who witnessed the
bombing of the UN Headquarters in Baghdad in August
2003. UN envoy Sergio Vieira de Mello was killed in
the attack. Michael was present in Iraq throughout the
invasion and occupation.

in 1998, Frank was involved with 4 others in a plowshares disarmament action on a B-52 Bomber. at Andrews Air Force Base.

Andrews AFB is where the American body bags retrun from Iraq in the thick of night. During this 1998 action Amy Goodman of Democracy Now was detained by the military while covering the action.
