The Lough, is dying before our eyes. Decades of mismanagement, political negligence, pollution and commercial extraction of its resources have left Lough Neagh blighted by a pestilence of blue-green algae, choking the life out of the Lough and putting it at risk of total ecosystem collapse.

Following the success of our exhibition ‘Natures Revolt’ which sought to blend art and traditions of resistance, the Save Lough Neagh campaign are organising this follow up event, to bring our community together for a two day festival of eco-socialism, resistance to extraction and exploitation, and artistic expression - to show collectively what Lough Neagh means to us all, and to galvanise the many thousands of people who have been impacted by this crisis. Acting together, we have the power to push for system change, secure a future for Lough Neagh, and demand accountability from those who have plundered it and profiteered from its destruction.

So come down to the festival for some of our film screenings, radical talks and panel discussions, or to hear some great music from local campaigners who have been staunch planet defenders for many years.

No to pollution
No to profiteering
No to political negligence

[Petition] Pass the Sanctions Against the State of Israel Bill

Important petition launched by Richard Boyd Barrett related to People Before Profit’s Sanctions on the State of Israel Bill.

It’s being debated on the 14th & voted on in the Dáil on 20th. It was pulled out of a lottery for private members' time recently so there hasn’t been much of a run in to campaign around it, but it is the first attempt in any Western parliament to push comprehensive sanctions against Israel.

It is framed around the Genocide Convention and Ireland's legal responsibility under the convention to intervene to stop/prevent genocide.

Please share it widely and get out to protest on the 20th May (outside Dáil at 5.30pm), with PBP, the IPSC and a grassroots coalition of solidarity activists.
