🚨 BREAKING - Civil Disobedience in Derry this Saturday. In opposition to the "biggest threat to civil liberties here since the civil rights movement was battered off the streets close on 60 years ago" - veteran civil rights activist Eamonn McCann Full: www.derrynow.com/news/local-n...

Council supports the legal challenge to Palestine Action's proscription and will write to the High Court to call for the ban to be removed immediately. Derry City and Strabane District Council rejects the rationale provided by the British Government. www.bbc.com/news/article...

We absolutely love to see it! Irish fans at the Ireland Hungary game tonight saying Show Israel the Red Card. The FAI should listen to the fans and insist that UEFA and FIFA expel apartheid Israel for its genocidal crimes against Palestinians. #BDS #FreePalestine

Looking forward to hearing from this expert panel of speakers this evening. Mobuoy dump is very, very toxic and a microcosm of the destruction of our environment for profit with the full connivance of the political establishment.

Emergency Rally: Gaza is Being Starved 1pm Saturday July 26, Waterloo Place Defend the Right to Protest Genocide

Derry is Red for Gaza. Genocide Is Our Red line. Red Alert to End the Genocide and stop the wilful starvation of millions by Israel backed by Trump.

All-out for Gaza.

Our office will be walking out at 1.05 today. This is a small first step toward what must be a larger more coordinated action from the unions to take up the fight against Israel like we did with South African apartheid in the 80’s.

Paul Weller in Derry to meet Eamon Friel’s family and see new canvas unveiled at Link 47

Millionaire University bosses want to hike student fees by £1000. Tuition fees should be abolished. I've signed the NUS-USI petition opposing the hike: www.nus-usi.org Sinn Féin and others who pledged they'd oppose student fee hikes should stick to their promises.

Israel and Thatcher are terrorists, investigation over! Israel's terrorism, endorsed & funded by the US and backed by Britain and the EU, is happening in plain sight. The investigation has happened, they're guilty of mass starvation and the slaughter of thousands of children.

Derry Stands with Gaza.

Starmer's proposed cuts are horrendous. Put it up to the Secretary of State Hilary Benn at the NIO Office tomorrow to demand the Green Paper on slashing disability benefits is binned. Welfare Not Warfare!!

Taking place this Saturday in the city centre

Derry socialist, musician and academic Colm Bryce was ‘a power house of social justice’. RIP Colm. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann

Colm Bryce will be sorely missed by his ‘comrades and friends across the world’

'This is an era of uncertainty and despair for many. We know that hopelessness is one of the prime predictors for poor mental health... We believe hope events are needed more than ever'

'People are struggling with addiction and the investment should be increased not stripped away'

In December of 2024, @amnesty.org and @hrw.org issued groundbreaking reports declaring Israel was committing acts of genocide in Gaza. Months later, their findings remain critical. ⬇️ www.palestine-studies.org/en/node/1657...

We held a vibrant and insistent protest at the Central Bank of Ireland today. We will not stop until it stops facilitating the sale of apartheid Israel's war bonds. We cannot continue to be complicit in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Time to #StopFundingGenocide #GazaGenocide Fidelma Bonass 📸

People Before Profit councillor Shaun Harkin said members should support the ten percent cap as a “starting point for people to feel they’re being heard” and a way to protect residential areas.

"Council notes a recent LucidTalk poll published in the Belfast Telegraph that found that an overall 77 percent majority of respondents disagreed with an increase, with outright opposition to the MLA pay hike increasing to 83 percent from working class poll respondents.”

"The thrust of the discussion was how is this going to improve the lives of working class people in the north and south, and how can we envision an Ireland where working class people will be better off."

The leader of the Regional Independents, Michael Lowry, potentially facing prosecution for corruption is clearly no obstacle to Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael. All is forgotten and ignored if they are willing to put tweedledum & tweedledee back in power together. #HowIrelandWorks #SpéirGhorm

Do you think €50,000 profit per house is acceptable, "in the grand scheme of things"? We need a state construction company to remove the waste of profiteering! #HousingCrisis #CostOfGreed #SpéirGhorm

Starbucks workers in LA are being forced to work in areas impacted by the recent wildfires - even where the air quality is unsafe. Management told partners that stores must open because “the community depends on us,” ignoring that some workers had to evacuate their own homes.

Boycott Coca-Cola. It's bosses have blood on their hands. It's bosses profiteeer from the slaughter of children.

Happy holidays - Starbucks baristas are ON STRIKE!! We're going on five days of escalating ULP strikes in response to the company backtracking on our promised path forward, starting today in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle - and many more to come!

In what Teamsters called the largest strike against Amazon in the U.S., warehouse workers and delivery drivers at seven facilities in major cities walked out today, escalating their demand for Amazon to start bargaining. @nataschaelena.bsky.social reports: labornotes.org/2024/12/cops... 1/5

🔥 TWAS THE STRIKE BEFORE CHRISTMAS! 🔥✊ Starbucks baristas are going on five days of escalating ULP strikes in response to the company backtracking on our promised path forward, starting tomorrow in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle... and soon, from coast-to-coast. 🧵

Jeff Bezos made $7.9 million PER HOUR in 2023. It’s time for Amazon, which is worth $2 TRILLION, to recognize union workers and come to the bargaining table. We stand in solidarity with striking workers at Amazon fighting for dignity, respect, and their fair share.

Starbucks Workers United baristas will begin escalating strikes through Christmas Eve beginning in 3 of Starbucks’ most important markets: Seattle, LA, and Chicago. We are calling on allies to join us at 3 "anchor" picket lines TODAY, Dec. 20th. Each day, we'll announce more locations!

As we head into the holiday season, we’re so grateful for our postal workers and letter carriers who make sure our gifts, holiday cards, and letters make it to our loved ones. Thank you for all that you do!

The Labour Party’s recent decision to deny compensation to the WASPI (Women Against State Pension Inequality) campaigners is yet another significant betrayal of trust and a stark departure from pre election promises by the British Labour Party.
