We're supporting next Tuesday's protest organised by
@foeireland.bsky.social!

Ireland's crippling energy prices are a matter of political choice, not just market fluctuation.

The government is opting to power data centres over the homes of ordinary people.

See you at the Dáil, Tues 1pm!

Great to see IPSC are going ahead with this demo!

It's important to mark our victories, clarify why we fought, and celebrate together.

This morale boost is essential; we can use the energy to push the OTB over the line.

When we mobilise together, we can win big victories!

Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign @ipsc.bsky.social · Sep 1

We will still be at the Central Bank tomorrow, to mark this big moment for our campaign and to reiterate the demand for an end to all Irish state complicity in Israel’s apartheid and genocide against Palestinians. No genocide bonds here or anywhere. #StopFundingGenocide

Lunchtime today!

The Central Bank plans to renew its contract with Israel, enabling trade in bonds that fund genocide in Palestine.

End this complicity now.

Our message to the government yesterday was very clear, the Central Bank must not renew its deal on apartheid Israel's genocide bonds on September 2nd. This state is fundraising for Israel's mass murder and starvation of Palestinians. The government must direct the CBI to #StopFundingGenocide
