For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

The death of partnership
This Gathering aims to bring activists from different sectors together to compare our experiences of "the death of partnership" and to ask what our alternatives are. No magic answers, just activists from different movements discussing where we are and what we can do.
Other plenaries on gender and activism and the Grassroots Network. Lots of workshops on everything from guerrilla gardening to the G8 protests in Scotland, video showings, and social events designed to give activists a chance to meet each other, swap stories, express our anger and brainstorm on what we can do now.

Everyone is invited to attend this fantastic workshop which will take place on Saturday, April 2nd, as part of the Grassroots Gathering this weekend in St. Nicholas of Myra Community Centre, off Francis Street, Dublin.
Knitting, crocheting, sewing, printing and lots of other crafty things will be considered. The workshop will hands on, in true DIY spirit, and all attending are asked to bring along any material, old t-shirts, wool, wire, thread, ribbons etc. that could be used in the workshop. Some will be provided so if you don’t have any not to worry.
Seoidin will be helping people to create their own weird and wonderful Critical Mass headgear! Clare and others will be teaching anyone who will listen knitting and crocheting. There will be fabric paints provided to allow everyone to spice up t-shirts with stencils or hand painting. Everything is aimed at an absolutely beginners level (because the organisers are beginners themselves) but hopefully there will be plenty of discussion and ideas and tips can be passed on.
Don't forget to bring an old t-shirt.
Looking forward to seeing you all there and at all the other amazing Grassroots Gathering workshops!
For all the details on the gathering, which begins on Friday evening and continues through to Sunday evening please see above.
