A-Infos (en) Ireland, Press release of WSM*: Anarchists urge united campaign against cuts

“We need to build a united campaign aimed at making the wealthy pay” (Gregor Kerr) 
Anarchist organisation, Workers Solidarity Movement (WSM), has called on “workers, the 
unemployed, trade union branches, community organisations and all who are angry with the 
government’s economic slash and burn policies to come together and build a united campaign 
against the cuts.”---- Speaking as the WSM prepares to join the Anti Capitalist Bloc which 
will assemble at the Wolfe Tone Statue, St. Stephen’s Green on Tuesday evening at 7p.m., 
Gregor Kerr WSM spokesperson said “The government is determined to make ordinary workers 
pay for the economic crisis through wage cuts, cuts in services, unemployment and forced 
emigration.  They will only be stopped when ordinary people come together and build a 
united campaign aimed at making the wealthy pay.”

The Anti Capitalist Bloc, jointly organised with socialist republican organisation Eirígí, 
has been called to coincide with the Right To Work protest which will take place at Dáil 
Eireann at 7:30 on Tuesday.  The Bloc will assemble at St. Stephens Green before marching 
past Anglo Irish Bank, where a short protest will be held, and continuing on to Dáil Eireann.

“Protests like this are very important,” Mr. Kerr continued, “they provide a focus for 
public anger against government policies.  Just as importantly however we need to work in 
our workplaces, communities, trade unions and everywhere we go to build a united campaign 
of people power which will boldly declare - ‘They didn't share the wealth, we won’t share 
the pain. Make the rich pay for the crisis.’
