Support the Women's Global Strike on 9th of March and Reclaim Paddies Day for Peace

Mid-West Alliance against Military Aggression (MAMA), a local anti-war group encourages people to take every opportunity to oppose war and Irelands complicity in the buildup to an attack in Iraq.

We are supporting this years Global Womens Strike call for women (and men)
to travel to Shannon Airport on the 8th of March, International Womens Day
to say No to War and demand investment in caring not killing. Everyone(!)
is invited to Shannon on the day to show solidarity with the rallying cry
"Women say No War. Invest in Caring not Killing".

This year, as the eyes of the world focus on Ireland on March 17th let us
use our creativity to celebrate peace and diversity. St Patrick, who knew
a life of slavery and hunger brought a message of peace and hope to
Ireland. This year let us 'Reclaim Paddys Day for Peace'.

SAY NO TO WAR.


MAMA meet each Tuesday at 7.30pm in Halla Ide, 18 Thomas St. Limerick.
087-6981831 for details.

Make Paddy's Day a CELEBRATION

Instead of wringing your hands and bowing your head in shame and berating yourself and others for allowing war to happen do your bit to obstruct the war machine at Shannon on March 1st.

On Paddy's Day I hope that I'll be celebrating the fact that Ireland has done something to make humanitarians proud of her the world over.

What will you be doing? Mourning Iraqi dead?
