SEA calls for support for Band on the Walls

Thursday 23rd June 2005

The Socialist Environmental Alliance has called on everyone in Derry who "wants to see an end to poverty, war and privatisation" to join with campaigners on the City Walls this Saturday afternoon. Anti poverty protestors will be putting "a band around the walls in a gesture of solidarity with "Make Poverty History" demonstrations against the G8 in Scotland at the beginning of July.

SEA spokesperson, Colm Bryce, said "many SEA activists have been protesting for years against the G8 and its policies of corporate globalisation that offer only more poverty, privatisation and cuts in services to millions across the world. We have travelled to their meetings at Genoa and Geneva to demand an end to these policies. Now that the G8 is meeting in our part of the world, we want to see as many Derry people as possible in Edinburgh and Gleneagles in the first days of July."

The SEA spokesperson says that Saturday is "an opportunity for people who support the protests against the G8 to add their voices to those from activists in Ghana, South Africa and Nigeria who are fighting the corporate agenda of the G8.

"It will also be a chance to find about transport to Scotland from Derry", says Mr. Bryce. "There will be a good few anti-capitalists from the city travelling and more and more are contacting us daily or logging on to www.g8alternatives.org to find out about the protests in Scotland", he said
