Derail Israeli Apartheid: IPSC Day of Action focusing on Veolia

press release
Thursday March 25, 2010 12:00 by Freda H - IPSC
On Saturday 27th March the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign's monthly Boycott & Divestment action will focus on Veolia (the operators of the LUAS and several waste management projects) who are complicit in the building of a colonial-settler only light rail system in occupied East Jerusalem and who operate an Israeli landfill in the West Bank. We are asking supporters to assemble at the St. Stephen's Green Luas stop at 1.00pm where we will be giving information to the general public about Veolia's operations in illegally occupied East Jerusalem, and asking the residents of Dublin to lobby their councillors in support of a motion at Dublin city Council that is asking the City Manager not to sign or renew any further contracts with Veolia until such time as they cease their involvement in Jerusalem's Apartheid Rail system and in the illegal Tovlan landfill in the West Bank. |

I don't seem to be able to copy and paste sorry.
It is most unfortunate that the day of this protest occurs on the same day of the SHell2 Sea protest at Castlerea prison on behalf of Pat o Donnell.
I would dearly love to be at both protests as i support both campaigns.
If Indymedia could be the reference point for up and coming campaigns we could maximise our fight against injustice.
I agree with Old Codger -- all anti-imperialist and other progressive organisations should endeavour to ensure that their actions do not clash with those of others. Castlerea is a fair bit away from Dublin but it was clear that there would be people travelling for it. I will be at the Veolia protest on this occasion.
I would recommend the following steps to anyone planning an action that's going to be advertised:
Have a couple of alternative dates in mind.
Check the Indymedia calendar.
Enter the action on calendar for appropriate day and time (i.e. not clashing with another).
If everyone does that, we should have few cases of agonising about where to be among our -- let's face it -- not huge numbers.
I take the points above, but this action was part of an international BDS Day of Action campaign so it coincided with work by other solidarity campaigns around the world. Some of the actions can be seen here http://bdsdayofaction.wordpress.com/
The IPSC holds monthly BDS actions nationwide on the last Saturday of every month.
Here are some photos from the Cork action http://www.facebook.com/#!/album.php?aid=2033517&id=1290123136
