The real Mayday street party is still on

category dublin | summit mobilisations | press release author Monday April 05, 2004 12:03author by Dublin Grassroots Network Report this post to the editors

The Government may have cancelled its 'Beautiful Night' concert in O'Connell
Street, but the real Mayday weekend street party is going ahead.

Reclaim The Streets is throwing a 'No Borders' street party on Bank Holiday
Monday, May 3rd, to which all are welcome.

Dublin Grassroots - a collective that includes Reclaim The Streets - is
calling on people to come along and have fun at this true party of the
people.

Mick Dooley of Dublin Grassroots, one of the main groups organising protests
against Dublin's EU summit, said: "The only street party worth joining in
town will now be the ONLY street party in town. And unlike the state's
cancelled street party, everyone from around the world is welcome to come to
Dublin for this, not just those that satisfy the demands of Fortress Europe.
Expect music, dancing and face painting, a day for all to come and enjoy a
vision of the Europe that we really want."

"Closing off O'Connell Street for a street party on Mayday is a Reclaim The
Streets concept, which the government hijacked and tried to use as part of
its cynical PR exercise."

"The Government's so-called Day of Welcomes is a sham. The European Union is
more about keeping people out than welcoming people in."


PHOTOCALL - GOOD FRIDAY

A foretaste of the May 3rd street party can be sampled on Good Friday, April
9th, when members of Dublin Grassroots will be playing live music and
handing out leaflets on Grafton Street. Dublin Grassroots has printed 50,000
leaflets outlining the reasons for the Mayday weekend protests and calling
on people to take part.

NB: This is scheduled for lunchtime on Friday, April 9th, on Grafton Street.
The exact time and location will be confirmed early next week.

Arent you lucky you have the luxury of a Good Friday off...

If your boss does not give you the time off, say you need the time off to observe Good Friday and go to mass. Come use your head!

Its hardly a luxury, is it. Maybe there are a lot more people working on weekends, nights etc. these days.
Maybe there is more pressure to take whatever job is available, and maybe more businesses are staying open, but Good Friday was always a day when most workers were off. In fact the place was always almost as quiet as xmas.
