Donegal Mobilises Against Hate

Well done to everyone who took to the streets of Letterkenny, Donegal to take a stand against racist hate.

A spokesperson for the IWW Ireland Branch spoke following yesterday's counter mobilisation in the centre of Letterkenny stating: "We must not allow racists, no matter what flag the wave, to attempt to divide workers, to divide our class. Whether that racist division occurs in our homes, in our places of work or on the streets. No matter where they raise their heads we must be their to challenge them.

"The people of Donegal have taken a stand against hate and division. Every attempt by those who seek to blame 'the other' for society's problems must be challenged.

"They attempt to blame the migrant worker, or the foreigner for our housing problems, our health or unemployment problems instead of the rich, the bosses and the politicians. This is sadly the age old lie of racism, just like sectarianism, which is spread by those to deflect attention any form the real enemy. We will not allow hate and division to go unchallenged here in Letterkenny, in Buncrana, in Derry or in Dublin."
