Last Tuesday the Gardaí attempted to stop the Anti-Capitalist Bloc marching to join up with the Right to Work Campaign at the Dail protest. Despite riding horses into the march they failed to either deny us our freedom to protest or to provoke a response as we pushed through and around them. Join us this week, same time and same place as we once more assert our freedom to protest. [Italiano]

The previous Tuesday Gardaí had used extendable steel batons against the heads of protesters trying to enter the Dail carpark resulting in at least five head injuries. And that Saturday they again attacked the éirígí protest at Anglo Irish Bank. We've seen the state react in a similar fashion to resistance in Rossport, Mayday 2004 and Reclaim the Streets. Last week hundreds of us decided it was time to say Enough, this week we hope you and many more will join us.

The Workers Solidarity Movement and éirígí are calling on a second Anti-Capitalist Bloc to meet up at 19.00 sharp to march (perhaps once more with a short stop at Anglo Irish bank) down to the Right to Work protest called for 19.30 at the Dail. We think its important to once more show we won't be beaten into passivity and the greater the numbers who assemble at the Dail the clearer this message will be.

We stand with the Greek workers who continue to resist the cuts and reject the demonisation of their resistance and ours that has been waged in the Irish media. Against those who say there is no alternative we declare, "They didn't share the wealth, why should we share the pain? Make the rich pay for the crisis"

We hope you will join with us. Be there at 19.00 sharp.

The meet up point is the Wolfe Tone statue, North East corner of Stephen Green, opposite the Shelbourne Hotel. Be there at 19.00 on Tuesday May 25th.
