Anarchist Bloc on Dublin May 1st march 2017

Date:

Join the Workers Solidarity Movement's Anarchist Bloc this International Workers' Day in Dublin on Monday May 1st 2017. Assembly is at 2pm at Parnell Square and we will march down O'Connell Street to the Rally outside Liberty Hall on the quays.

History has a lot to teach us about the roots of our radicalism. When we remember that people were shot so we could have the 8-hour day; if we acknowledge that homes with families in them were burned to the ground so we could have Saturday as part of the weekend; when we recall 8-year old victims of industrial accidents who marched in the streets protesting working conditions and child labor only to be beat down by the police and company thugs, we understand that our current condition cannot be taken for granted - people fought for the rights and dignities we enjoy today, and there is still a lot more to fight for. The sacrifices of so many people can not be forgotten or we'll end up fighting for those same gains all over again. This is why we celebrate May Day.
