Belfast building for anti war protests and actions.

Just to let people know that Belfast Anti war steering Group meets tonight 7.30pm BIFHE in Bunswick street. As well as this steering group newly established local groups have been set up.

Belfast East and Belfast North are in the process of being established along with Jordanstown with areas around greater Belfast to be looked at. Local activities and the building for the Feb demo are among the priorities. I hope people and groups can get actively involved together to ensure that the largest anti war march of this kind seen in decades mobilises on the streets of Belfast.

I would like to send our solidarity from Belfast to those activists in Shannon and to let them know that many in our local communities, trade unions and workplaces will be watching their peace actions and raising the governments responses to peace activists both within our work and throughout the media in the North.

Finally other groups have and will be set up around the North such as that of the Derry anti war coalition presently active - again I would urge all to actively get involved.
