Protest with a difference
A broad range of communities, community and youth organisations, trade unions, cultural groups, students and campaigning organisations from Dublin and beyond are coming together to participate in a Radical Spectacle. Assemble CITY HALL, Castle St. Dublin 2, 7 pm, Friday 10th December
On December 10th, a broad range of
communities, community and youth
organisations, trade unions, cultural
groups, students and campaigning
organisations from Dublin and beyond
are coming together to participate in a
Radical Spectacle. The heart is literally
being ripped out of our communities
and this affects the country as a whole.
The Spectacle will be an act of Creative
Resistance to the redundant policies of
a redundant regime.
This day is United Nations International Day
of Human Rights around the world and is an
appropriate moment to mobilise.
The Spectacle’s participative, imaginative
and heartfelt approach will demonstrate that
there is another way to a more equal and a
more just Ireland. The Spectacle says STOP
this madness of punishing ordinary people
for the mistakes of others.
STOP RIPPING THE HEART OUT OF
COMMUNITIES.
The Spectacle is a creative invitation to the
people of Ireland to challenge the way things
are being done and to say that we should
move forward by protecting and valuing the
heart of communities in this country.
LET’S START NOW.
Our country needs a radical transformation
based on values of equality, solidarity and
accountability. We want you, your family,
your neighbour and your community to come
to the Spectacle to make this point. We
are asking all groups who are not already
participating to sign up, get on board and get
your groups organised.
The Spectacle starts at City Hall, beside Dublin
Castle at 7pm on Friday 10th December
(groups will gather from 6pm). It will travel
past the Central Bank, up O’Connell Street and
return to the Central Bank via D’Olier Street
with stops for brief performances along the
way.
Show your support by wearing red (shirt, hat,
scarf, etc.). We highly recommend bringing
White heart-shaped Placards with messages
of protest, hope or support rather than Party
Banners or Flags.

Spectacle and need more information contact
