Support peace - say no to NATO
.png)
To stop our government pushing the country we live in, with a supposed policy of neutrality, towards more militarisation through NATO and other projects.
Why is this important?
Our government is going against the will of the people living in Ireland to move Ireland closer to more war and militarisation.
Our Taoiseach has been cozying up with NATO leaders at military summit dinners and our Tánaiste/Minister for Trade is gearing up to put more of our public money into military and weapons.
NATO has a long and persistent history of illegal war-making, illegal airstrikes, bombing civilians and other war crimes.
NATO is responsible for starting and escalating wars, killing thousands of people, displacing hundreds of thousands of people and leaving countries around the world mired in violence, chaos and poverty.
We must not be part of that.
We support peace and say no to NATO.
