In Ireland over 500 people commit suicide a year, many as a direct result of the financial crisis. Over 300,000 houses in Ireland remain vacant while thousands of people are evicted and the banks are now looking to start evicting 1000 more families a year each. Children are sitting in schools with no heating, many are also going to school hungry and soup kitchens are opening up all over the country. Half of our youth are unemployed leaving university after studying hard for years. Over 80,000 families wave goodbye to loved ones each year emigrating for work, not knowing when they will meet again. Crime is rising as it automatically does with an increase in poverty and the government is closing stations, in particular leaving old people vulnerable in their own homes. Michael Noonan admitted on Pat Kenny's RTE show that the debt was illegal World's 100 richest people have increased there wealth by €241 Billion in 2012 All over the world people fighting against corruption and demanding a better world for you, are being beaten, jailed, shot and murdered, but still we remain silent. Is this good enough? Is this what it means to be Irish, the great warriors from the land of saints and scholars? Is it right that through our silence we allow this to continue? In Spain, Greece, Portugal, Italy, the USA, Canada, Mexico, Britain, Slovakia, Slovenia, Albania, Argentina, Chile, Turkey, China, India, Libya, Egypt, Palestine, Bahrain, Syria, Saudi Arabia and many more countries around the world, the people are rising up, demanding freedom from oppression. In Portugal thousands of protestors were chanting "Spain, Greece, Ireland and Italy, our struggle is international" Iceland has shown only people peacefully on the streets can bring about the change needed. Now is the time the Irish stood up and showed the world we are awake and "Ireland Says No" We can create a better world. A sustainable world designed for us to enjoy life, not for profit or greed. A world we can be proud to leave to our children and grandchildren. A world without war, poverty or oppression. We can provide food and homes for everyone on this planet. We have the technology for free energy. We can provide everyone with a quality education. We can collectively redefine right from wrong in our society. We can collectively decide what is no longer acceptable in our society, Demand an end to lies and secrecy from politicians Stop the exploitation of our natural resources End the destruction of our earth, our eco system End the oppression of our brothers and sisters around the world and cruelty to animals. A better world is possible, but only when we rise up together and demand it. Speaking out will cost you nothing, but your silence could cost everything. March 16th, stand in solidarity with people all over the world and demand a better world for us all. United we stand, divided we fall.
