Workers Solidarity Movement

The 5th annual march for Choice takes place September 24 and once more we are bringing together an anarchist bloc for the march, which is organised by the Abortion Rights Campaign.

It's going to be an important march as the governement are desperately trying to delay calling a referendum to Repeal the 8th Referendum and a huge turnout will help to force them to abandon their delaying tactics. And with Repeal even being raised by Rose of Traless contestants (to RTE's horror) there is a real mood of urgency for change that must be expressed on the streets. We can't wait when 12 people a day are forced to travel to access abortion and more use pills at home under the theoretical threat of a 14 year jail term.

We will be meeting up at the march start point at 1.30 at Parnell SQ, just look out for the Red & Black flags. Before this from 12 noon we are having a meetup in our space at Jigsaw which is nearby at 10 Belveder Court, a chance for old hands and new faces to meet and chat over tea or coffee before heading down together. If you are on Facebook join our Anarchists on the 2016 March for Choice event and help us build by asking your friends.
