From Belfast to Scotland to Dublin {BSD} From Belfast to Scotland to Dublin {BSD}
Dear Friends here are some important events upcoming in the next few weeks.
Firstly with a change of venue
1} For various reasons the Make Poverty History {MPH} rally has now been changed to Custom House Square
'On Saturday June 4th, Custom House Square, Laganside in Belfast will be the scene of a major Make Poverty History rally, one in a series in the UK entitled ‘Motiv8 4 G8’ in the run up to what promises to be a mammoth gathering in Edinburgh on July 2nd just prior to the G8 Summit.
Celebrities who may appear or who have directly endorsed the event include Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol, Ronan Keating, Graham Norton and Natasha Beddingfield'.
Friends the practicalities of the rally have all but been sorted, and with just a week or so to go - with only a few of the final minor issues to sort out such as Stewarts, sending out of press releases, etc, everything is ready..
So can persons circulate the new venue as above - and to let people know about this. There could be possibly thousands in attendance.
Also if persons want to go to the G8 MPH rally in Scotland a list of buses can be found on the MPH website attached.
Many others will also be staying on for other G8 rallies and protests and the largest group to organise to travel from around Ireland for this is those supportive of the Grassroots groups {non party aligned} which I and many others from Belfast will be travelling with. If persons want to stay on for the other G8 protests after the MPH rally then contact me at carlindavid@hotmail.com - for information on travel etc.
MPH contact details on Website for press, MPH buses etc -

NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION
AGAINST RACISM
Let us stay! Let us work!
JUSTICE FOR ASYLUM SEEKERS
Saturday 18 June, 12.30 pm
GPO, O’Connell Street, Dublin
Organised by RESIDENTS AGAINST RACISM
NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION AGAINST RACISM
Michael McDowell’s deportation machine has got worse than ever in recent months. He has sent his snatch squads into schools, attempting to drag children away from their classmates and teachers. He has separated mothers from their children. He has torn people away from communities they are now a part of, ignoring calls for compassion from their friends and neighbours.
Asylum seekers in Ireland are forced to live on only €19.10 a week. They are banned from working or studying. People who are ready, willing and able to work are condemned by the government to compulsory unemployment and poverty.
His ideological obsession with deporting people makes Michael McDowell unfit to be in charge of the asylum system. The system should be taken out of the hands of politicians altogether, and run by a body—such as the Human Rights Commission—committed to fair play for asylum seekers.
Exploitation of immigrant workers is widespread in Ireland, based largely on the current work permit system. The permit is given to the employer, not the worker, which ties you to a single company with no right to change jobs. If the boss doesn’t renew your permit, you have no legal right to stay in Ireland.
Recently, popular protest forced McDowell to do a U-turn, and reverse the deportation of Kunle Elukanlo, a school student from Dublin. In the run-up to World Refugee Day, 18 June is a chance to show that not everyone is prepared to stand by and allow state racism to continue.
• Stop the deportations
• Give asylum seekers the right to work
• Take the asylum system out of the politicians’ hands
• Take the work permits away from the employer
Residents Against Racism was set up in 1998 to fight against state racism, and to oppose all manifestations of racism. We have successfully campaigned in support of refugees facing deportation and other forms of harassment from the state. Our supporters include Joe Costello TD, Aengus Ó Snodaigh TD, Joe Higgins TD, Ciarán Cuffe TD, Finian McGrath TD, Michael O’Reilly of the ATGWU, and many other individuals and groups. We are not connected to any political party, and do not receive any state funding.
