A-Infos (en) Ireland Anarchist journal, Workers Solidarity #96 - Anarchism and the WSM - New pro choice campaign

The Workers Solidarity Movement is an organisation of working class anarchists 
who have come together to maximise the impact of anarchist ideas. Pooling the 
resources of many people allows us to distribute 6,000 copies of this paper 
every two months, and 1,000 copies of our twice yearly magazine, Red & Black 
Revolution. It allows us to discuss the best ways to advance working class 
interests, and prioritise particular activities rather than be so widely 
dispersed as to have little effect.
As well as taking part in local and national demonstrations in support of the 
Rossport residents, about 20 WSM members participated in the mass trespass of 
Shell's Mayo construction site on February 16th. This marks a step forward for 
the Shell To Sea campaign because it recognises that lobbying politicians is 
not enough, when you are continually lied to or brushed off you have to take 
action yourself.

And talking of taking action, a loose group of abortion rights activists has 
come together in Dublin. This arose from a Labour Youth sponsored meeting, 
where the speakers included Aileen O'Caroll from the WSM and Aoife Cooke from 
the Revolutionary Anarchafeminist Group.

The, so far, nameless group includes people from the Labour Party, WSM, Sinn 
Fein and RAG. It has set itself the job of exposing bogus clinics like the 
'Women's Resource Centre' which pretend to offer advice on all options to women 
with crisis pregnancies, but don't. They lie to women ("it's too early for an 
abortion", "you will get breast cancer and/or become infertile").

Those anti-choice liars have been getting away with it for too long, the 
prochoice movement will be letting women know the truth about them and pointing 
anyone seeking help towards agencies like the Irish Family Planning 
Association, which do offer genuine non-directive advice about all options.

A new issue of Red & Black Revolution has just been published, with articles on 
anarchism and the coming elections, a history of the Grassroots Gatherings, the 
meaning of 'direct action', the Rossport struggle, an interview with Ana Lopez 
of the International Union of Sex Workers, and more. Pick up a copy from any 
WSM member, or send €2 to our address and we'll put one in the post for you.
