Join Slí Eile and Save our Sperrins for a Day of Resistance against the planned goldmine in the Sperrins.
On the 23rd of August we will gather together in the Sperrins from all over Ireland to show the strength of the anti-mining campaigns on our island and to take back the land that the proposed mine would privatise and destroy. This day will include creative protest, an information talk, eating together, a ceilí with music from local musicians.The Day of Resistance will begin with a family fun day event in the village of Greencastle at 11am followed by a lunch at 1pm at the Greencastle People’s Office (GPO) and will continue with a programme of activities at the GPO and the surrounding areas from 2pm onwards. People are also welcome to camp overnight with us.If you are planning on coming, we would ask you to fill out the registration form so that we can get a sense of numbers and other important information for the day. We have a Signal chat for communication and questions which we will send a link for to those who fill out the form. More details will be sent out over the coming weeks.
The bus will leave the Forestor's Club, Albert Street, Belfast at 10am on Saturday August 23rd and leave at 6.30pm for the return journey to Belfast. There is also a bus leaving from Dublin, which will leave on Saturday morning and come back on Sunday. For those who are travelling by car and can give lifts, lift-sharing can be self-organised through the Signal chat.
