Shannon Airport Peace Camp – Sat 4th and Sun 5th July
July 4 - July 5
It starts this Saturday at 6am and finished on Sunday at 6pm. All are welcome to come whenever might suit them. The 6am start is because that is around the time of the arrivals of the flights from the US. The ‘peace camp’ will be right there at the Peace roundabout at the entrance to the airport. It is visible by traffic (so good for the protest messaging) and well lit (so safer for the overnighters)
Some basic food will be available e.g a big curry for sharing
If you are going for the night, bring a tent.
For the overnighters there will be music, chit chatting, networking and a workshop to discuss the upcoming 25th anniversary celebrations at Shannon Airport. Ways to celebrate the actions taken over the years and the activists who took them will be discussed.
During the usual Sunday Vigil hours (9am-12pm) there will be a reading of the names of children killed in various illegal wars in West Asia.
