Fellow Trotwatchers !
More info details please
Did I hear right that the SWP/IAWM were chargin €10 in?
Excellent report and thanks for that Derek.
The Irish Times have a front cover photo of her son Casey on today's Irish Times and an article inside.
I was at the conference last night with Cindy Sheehan, Rose Gentle and others. About 170 people were there where as the hall can fit 550. I was very disappointed to see that there were not more people there. As individuals with full time jobs etc. there is little we can do to affect this horrific war. But people like Cindy Sheehan and Rose Gentle have had a huge affect on swaying public opinion in the countries that matter. Support for continued occupation now only stands at 34% with strong support for the war only at 20%. She has probably done more damage to George Bush et. al. than any other single person on the planet.
So it was vitally important last night that the Irish people showed them our support and solidarity. Where are the 150,000 people of the biggest march in Irish history gone?
The postering ban of course is really hampering promotional efforts. I believe that Cindy may have also let slip in error on the Pat Kenny radio show that the meeting was booked out. But more volunteers are needed on the ground to promote events such as this and to be involved in other anti-war activities.
Despite this - the meeting was fantastic. Rose, and Cindy is particular, are magnificent speakers and people. Cindy has a tremendous affect on you and one can easily see how she has touched the hearts of the American people. She is a gentle, extremely calm and loving woman. She signed copies of her book after the conference at which I got a chance to meet with her and thank her personally.
Despite the non-max turnout, I know she, Rose and the other speakers were touched by the support and warmth they received from the audience.
A big well done to the IAWM for organizing and bringing them over. They should be bringing other speakers over as well. Our support to these speakers and galvanizing large turnouts is vital.
A huge protest is being organized for around the globe on Sat, March 18th. Hopefully it will be reminiscent of the unprecedented worldwide protest of Feb 15th 2003. As many people as possible are needed to get active in promoting the Irish protest in order to make it a success. We owe this to the dying, the dead and those who will die.
I will try and post in an article of last night's conference later on.
