Bank Holiday (June 7th) Anti-War Vigil

Bank Holiday (June 7th) Anti-War Vigil at Dublin's U.S. Embassy

Remembering the War Dead

Last Monday, Memorial Day (May 31st), the Dublin Catholic Worker and U.S. citizens against the present war in Iraq held a vigil at Dublin's U.S. Embassy (cnr. of Elgin & Pembroke).

*A peace vigil will also be held this Bank Holiday Monday from 5 pm- 7pm and every Monday in the lead up to Bush's visit to Ireland on June 25/26.

5 pm: Vigil begins with placards and banners.

6pm: Reflections from anti-war activists from the US and Ireland to be followed by reading out the names of U.S. military killed in Iraq killed.

We will be demanding an end to the war and the immediate release of all U.S. military resisters (e.g. recently court-martialed Sgt. Camilo Mejia) and peace prisoners (e.g. Kathy Kelly who was active in Ireland and Iraq against the war last year, Dominican Sr.’s Jackie Hudson, Ardeth Platte & Jackie Hudson serving 2 & 3 years for carrying out a weapons inspection & plowshares action on an ICBM missile silo in Colorado).

We will be remembering the passing of long time U.S. peace activist David Dellinger ( WW2 resister, "Chicago 8" etc. see May 28th. Obituary section of the Guardian ).
