PIXIES FOR PEACE
Saint Valentine’s Day Anti-War Love Parade

Pixies for Peace are inviting Galwegians to take part in a Saint Valentine’s Day Love Parade/Weapons Inspection Tour through Galway on Friday 14th February. Pixies For Peace will be carrying out on the spot inspections in various locations to see if any institutions or businesses in Galway are actively supporting Britain and America’s use of Weapons Of Mass destruction. Please bring musical instruments, songs, poems, costumes, declarations of love.

Pixies for Peace are deeply concerned that the Taoiseach Barmy Bertie AhemAhem’s use of troops in Shannon will;
Further promote hatred, division, and bloodshed in the world,
Compromise Ireland’s security by making us active participants in an Imperial War,
Endanger future peace keeping roles by the Irish army, which will no longer be seen as neutral peacekeepers but as allies to American/British military interests.

Pixies for Peace also believe that the use of Irish troops in Shannon to change Ireland’s constitution is in violation of the Belfast Agreement, which explicitly states that all constitutional changes on the island of Ireland have to be achieved through consensus and not through the use of arms.

The love parade will kick off at 12 noon in the Quad, NUI,Galway (the old building near the main entrance of UCG)

Pixies for Peace is a formidable alliance of pixies, leprechauns, wood nymphs, zwerge, satyrs, cherubs, sídhe, mermaids, barmaids, bogles, deserting Valkries, sylkies, fairies, hobbits, na beansídhe I gcoinne cogar, and elves. If you want to join in the Love Parade/Weapons Inspection Tour please contact Pixies for Peace (Western Command) at 087 654 5411 or dubh@hotmail.com
