The Grassroots Gathering is a space
for communication, learning and debate between people organising
non-hierarchically for a new society in Ireland and worldwide. We include
environmentalists, community activists, worker’s and consumer’s cooperatives,
anarchists, trade unionists, feminists, cultural activists and others united in
our rejection of capitalism and commitment to the voluntary creation of
alternatives without coercion. Children are welcome at this event.
The gathering will include video
showings, workshops, evening festivities, direct actions and presentations from
all over Ireland and abroad, and a bookstall by Just Books. Veggie and vegan
food will be provided by Belfast food not bombs, and free accommodation will be
provided (bring a sleeping bag). Volunteers are needed each day for an hour or
so to supervise play activities, help in the kitchen and clean up.
There will be workshops on the themes:
If you have experience in these areas and want to get involved in planning the discussions or presenting a workshop please contact us at grassrootsbelfast2@safe-mail.net

If you would like to present a workshop or
facilitate a discussion please, or have experience relating to some of the
workshops listed, please contact us as soon as possible at grassrootsbelfast2@safe-mail.net

for ‘renegade workshop’ space for shorter meetings, workshops and
announcements.
We want people to get involved, we need help with cooking, children’s activities, providing accommodation (if you live in Belfast), facilitating workshops and discussions. Come along and muck in.
