About 300 people marched on Saturday afternoon in protest at the ongoing stand-off over the bin tax and the non-collection of domestic rubbish in Cork City. The noisy and lively march was harassed throughout by motorcycle cops who insisted on running normal traffic though the streets at the same time as the march was in progress. The march finished in Daunt Square where it was addressed by an Sandra Condon, an activist with Householders Against Service Charges (HASC) who was jailed in 2001 for opposing Cork City Councils' policies. A number of recently elected city-councillors also spoke. read full story / add a comment

Sergio Leone: ''As Romans, we have a strong sense of the fragility of empires. It is enough to look around us.'

It took years for movies dramatising the agony of the Vietnam conflict to hit the big screen, yet oddly enough a jaundiced contemporary view of the states seeped into a mass audience through Leone's spaghetti westerns. Remaining conspicuous through absence from the canons of motion picture greats, the stylistic flourishes of Sergio Leone westerns provide the popular mind with an immediate shorthand for the genre cinematically. read full story / add a comment

FINALLY !... A NEW DAWN FOR ACTION AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE

On February 16 th ---10 long years after it was first sketched out----the Kyoto Protocol finally achieves the status of a treaty in force in international law.

After 10 long ( very long) years of extremely arduous, fractious and exasperating negotiations, the world finally gets a legally-binding international treaty for the enforcement of reductions in man-made emissions of greenhouse gases.

In collaboration with our international partners within the Climate Action Network (CAN), GRIAN has been working to ensure that February 16 th will be perceived for, and celebrated as, the highly significant day it really is.

Next Wednesday, as part of the global celebrations of this event (see: www.climatenetwork.org/kyotoevents ), GRIAN is coordinating a press conference and short series of workshops on climate change and the significance of the Kyoto Protocol in ENFO, 17 St. Andrew's St. , Dublin 2. read full story / add a comment

Microfinance is about giving small loans (generally upto 5000€) with as little interest as possible (ought to be none) to poor people so they can set up commercial or agricultural concerns.
It's very important for 3rd world agriculture and has played a pivotal role in conflict resolutions in the Balkans and Africa.
It's not quite "anti-capitalism", rather it is one of the tools of the system as it exists which can be better used to alleviate in the short term the suffering and under-development of the majority of humanity. read full story / add a comment
