Dear friends,
As you might have heard, there will be a national anti-water charges demonstration in Dublin on Saturday April 8th at 2pm, which has been called by Right2Water. We're close to victory. The Oireachtas committee on water charges has until April 14th to come to a decision, and it’s important not only that we ensure the charges are abolished, all metering ends, and a referendum on public ownership of water is held, but that we re-affirm the fact that direct action, de-centralised organising, and mass protest have been the lifeblood of this campaign.
In order to have a visible anarchist presence, the Workers Solidarity Movement have called an anarchist/anti-authoritarian bloc to join the march. This bloc will meet at Connolly Station at 2pm (10 mins. walk directly east of the Spire). Look out for the red and black flags. If you have Facebook, here is the event page. Please invite others who may be interested also.
We will be handing out several hundred copies of a 4-page leaflet produced by the WSM, which includes content on the water charges, housing, and the pro-choice struggle, and are looking for folks to help us distribute these on the day. If would like to help with this, please reply to this email confirming that.
