Journalist, socialist and long-time political activist, Eamonn McCann is standing in the upcoming Northern Ireland Assembly Elections for the Socialist Environmental Alliance in Foyle.

McCann, one of the leaders of the Derry Civil Rights Movement, last stood for the Derry Labour Party in 1970. Since then he has been a tireless fighter for an end to sectarianism and a turn to class politics in the North.

Activists in Dublin are organising teams of cavassers to travel to Derry over the next 3 weekends to help out with the campaign.

If you're sick of politicians who preach peace while shaking George Bush's blood-drenched hand, then get involved in McCann's campaign and build a real alternative to the communal politics that have dominated the North for decades.

Contact Aoife on 087 7955013 if you can travel to Derry on Sat 8/Sun 9 or Sat 15/Sun 16 or Sat 22/Sun 23rd. Accomodation & lifts will be arranged and the craic will be mighty!

If you will be in Derry at any other time, each evening the SEA are organising canvassing from 5pm. Meet Campaign HQ (next to the Gweedore Bar on Waterloo St), where you can also pick up leaflets.

The SEA is also running Marian Baur in East Londonderry. Contac the Derry office on 71371592 for details on canvassing.
