American Catholic Worker 24 Hour Vigil/Fast

American Catholic Worker 24 Hour Vigil/Fast at the US Embassy, Thursday 8am - Friday 8am

We shall gather in front of the US Embassy in a vigil of solidarity with Iraqi people injured and killed by American Weapons of Mass Destruction. We shall also express solidarity with three Dominican Sisters - Carol Gilbert, Ardeth Platte, and Jackie Hudson who are facing 30 years imprisonment for disarming a Colarado Nuclear facility. The three sisters saw through the hypocrisy of a nation intent on disarming Iraq while ignoring its' own Weapons of Mass Destruction.

We shall gather to:

* express grief and repentance for U.S. colonial wars (past and present), including the current attack on Iraq and its resulting US Military presence in Ireland.

* Ask the U.S. to disarm it's Weapons of Mass Destruction while listening to the millions of people saying 'NO' to war.

*Celebrate Resistance to the U.S. colonial war machine

Nuin Dunlop (31) is an American of Irish-Scots-East Band Cherokee-Dutch descent. She has been working for several years in community service; in the Catholic Worker (www.catholicworker.org), hospital chaplaincy, and with the marginalised. She is a Catholic anarchist.

Her activism stems from the belief that the Creator breaths life through everyone: War is the most serious violation of life. Born in the nation with more weapons of mass destruction than any other, she is moved to respond to the current US-led assaults on life.

Nuin is a member of the Dublin Catholic Worker 'Pit-Stop Ploughshares 5' (www.geocities.com/pwdyson/pitstop.html) that disarmed a US Navy plane at 'Shannon Warport' on February 3rd, 2003. She consented to bail at Limerick prison on Friday, March 21st after a 46 day prison witness against the war.

Karen Fallon from Scotland continues to resist the war from Limerick Prison with consent to bail.
