Note from the Irish Peace Movement
Tuesday, March 1, 2011 at 10:42AM Tom, good article.
Sinn Fein has been affiliated to the Peace & Neutrality Alliance for years, and in response to a letter from PANA, Gerry Adams has agreed to help establish a Oireachtas PANA group. Sinn Fein, together with a large number of progressive independents, could mean over 25 Dail members out of 166 will support an organisation that opposes Ireland's integration into the US/EU/NATO military structures. In fact, if you include the Irish Labour Party, then 42% of the Irish people voted for parties and individuals that oppose the use of Shannon Airport by the US troops on their way to and from their wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan.
PANA is continuing to build up links internationally and I have attached a poster of a meeting PANA is helping to organise with the leader of the World Peace Council and we are also hosting the AGM of the No to NATO-NO -to -War network in April which includes representatives of peace movements all over Europe including some US representatives such as Joseph Gerson of the American Friends Service Committee. The ending of these imperial wars is absolutely crucial for the recovery of the Irish, European and US economies and it is the objective of PANA to continue to seek to find better ways to work more closely with the other peace groups such as your own in Europe & the US.
Keep up the good work and pass on my regards to friends you have in Wisconsin that are currently leading the fight against this neo-liberal militarist ideology.
