Workers united are unstoppable. The trade union movement has proved this over and over again.

On Palestine their hands are tied by restrictive legislation. Or are they? Join us Saturday, Grand Parade at 1pm. Hear how unionised workers can once again change the world.

US policy no longer pretends to follow international law, or uphold human rights.

All pretences are gone.

Along with the EU and the UK it brazenly imposes a brutal imperialist, colonialist, boot on the neck of all those it can profit from.

Gaza is starving, Gaza is dying.
Men, women and children, our sisters and brothers, are gripped by a horrific famine.

Now there is nothing. Nothing to eat, nowhere to hide from Israeli plans of concentration camps and annihilation.

Make your voice heard. Grand Parade, 1pm Saturday 26th

Some of the solidarity that I saw in Dublin in the last week ❤️🖤🤍💚👀

Going to miss this week as I'll be marching with the Rosa Fight Back bloc at Dublin Pride.

It's amazing that after 90 odd weeks the people of Cork still run up in numbers ❤️🖤🤍💚

Musicians shouldn't have gigs cancelled for expressing solidarity.

Performers shouldn't lose income protesting apartheid and genocide.

Illustrators shouldn't lose their lives for painting the truth.

Arts venues shouldn't block fundraisers.

From Gaza to Cork, artists resist Zionist occupation!

For the 65th week running yesterday Cork Palestine Solidarity Campaign organised speakers, performers and marched through the City.

Over 350 people braved atrocious weather to stand in solidarity with Gaza.

Ask canvassers if their party to legislate for collective bargaining and stop union busting as per the EU Directive on Minimum Living Wages.

This Saturday, 1pm at the Grand Parade, Cork City.

We've asked the Oireachtas Friends of Israel some questions about the level of lobbying by Israel in Irish democracy.

Will they answer? Come find out!

For the 58th week in a row we will march through Cork City demanding an end to genocide.

Such a buzz to get to march in the Cork Pride parade with the Social Democrats on Saturday.

Inspiring to see so many people state there is no pride in genocide, including headline Bambie Thug 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇸🕊️

Good couple of days in MTU campuses at our Trade Union Awareness Day. A lot of interest from students, some of whom asked what a union was (!)

Had quite a few chats about Unite's environmental and EDI activism #JoinAUnion #HigherEducation

Love this 😍 Mother Jones has been uncelebrated in the city of her birth for way to long.
