Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Are you just taking to posting random letters between groups without any context?
Surely it would be good form to explain what's going on...instead of assuming every reader lives in an activist bubble?
And most importantly, has the ISF actually been cancelled? Your letter refers to it, but doesn't give any background or proof.
- please see the 200 or so ISF posters we put up along the route of last Saturdays anti-war march
- we handed out flyers to everyone who was there and again on Tuesday night at the Dail
- the momentum of the ISF has been building since last November
- if for anyone its not the way you like it thats because you did not take up the invite to get involved.
To summarise quickly:
- there were two meetings a while ago with poor attendance and those who could not make the meeting were actually getting along doing their work to make the ISF happen - there was a slip up in the weekly reporting structure to the meetings as to the progress on various aspects of the ISF -thats all: a reporting glitch - now stop this nonsense of people talking of cancelling the ISF - rubbish
- this weekend we will be revamping the website and putting up the latest list of plenary speakers and workshops info.
1st ISF is Friday 17th to Sunday 19th October, UCD Students Centre (Fri. pm + Sat. am, pm) and Mother Redcaps am; with Carnival 4 Change in Smithfield on the Sunday 19th; Four Plenaries and so far we have 15 workshops representing a huge spectrum of anti-neoliberalist / pro-democracy perspectives.
I will post the 1st ISF Programme on the Newswire over the weekend in all its super diversity!!
all the best folks,
Barry.
