The Unmanageables: Honouring the Woman of 1916

''They are at once the boldest and the most unmanageable of revolutionaries.' Eamon de Valera

An alliance of contemporary women activists from a broad coaition of campaigning groups, Anti-War, including Cosantoiri Siochana, Dublin Catholic Worker group, Residents Against Racism, Save Tara and Shell to Sea have come together to honour the Women of 1916, who have been ignored by the State's commerorations and the Military Parade.

The contemporary activists have each chosen a woman activist from the 1916 era as an inspiration and are marching from Christchurch to O Connell Bridge on the morning of 16th April.

The protest will be in costume and the women activists will carry banners relating their contemporary activism to the first two paragraphs of the Proclamation which in substance has been ignored and denigrated by the Government. They will also be wearing and distibuting Black Shamrocks which symbolise Irish State Collusion in rendition flights and loss of our neutrality will be distributed on the day.

This protest is a non-violent direct action and will be a short march, followed by banner drops and leafletting.

Assembled at 11am @ Christchurch Sunday April 16th.
