Next Monday is the first Monday of the month, so we are having an Open Meeting.
The topic for discussion will be bereavement and loss. The death of someone close can have a huge impact on our lives and is a universal experience. However it is a subject which gets little attention.
This discussion will take place in Seomra Spraoi at 7.30pm, Monday 1st March 2010.
All welcome - women and men.
PS.
Also the four programmes RAG made with DCTV can be seen here:

RAG Introductory Meeting
Monday 22nd Feb, 7.30-9.30pm, Seomra Spraoi, 10 Belvidere Court, Dublin 1
RAG - Dublin's Revolutionary Anarchafeminist Group - are a publishing collective that produce a yearly magazine, the Rag. We finished Issue 4 at the end of last year and are now workshopping new ideas for issue 5. We are interested in involving new members with fresh anarchist feminist perspectives!
With this introductory meeting we hope to give prospective members an insight into how we work as a collective, what we stand for, and what we need from members. It is an opportunity for you to ask all those silly questions about anarchafeminism/us you were afraid to ask (and that we may or may not be able to answer!)
We hope that those attending will at least have read some of our magazine articles, but we will bring copies along with us too. This article might also be of interest: http://ragdublin.blogspot.com/2009/01/why-anarcha-feminism.html
* For the moment, our membership (and this meeting) is open only to women/women-identified. Though we are restarting our monthly open meetings soon. Most of these are open to people of all genders, keep an eye here and on our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?ref=profile&id=1572295878 for details.
Feel free to email us with any queries.
The Rag issue 4 is available in Books Upstairs, 36 College Green, Dublin 2.

Social Solidarity Network - Sat 3rd October
Invitation to meeting Saturday 3rd Oct
Job losses, wage cuts, cuts in essential public services, pension levies..... Our living standards and our social services are under huge attack.
Mainstream media commentators and some politicians would have us believe that there is no alternative, that we have all been living beyond our means and that we have to tighten our belts in these recessionary times.
But we do not have to accept their reality. We do not have to accept that people on minimum wage, unwaged workers, those on social welfare, low-paid civil servants or working class people in general should be the ones who pay for the economic crisis. We do not have to accept that our health, education, infrastructure and social welfare services should be slashed in order to bail out the banks and the property developers.
Huge numbers of people recognise that we are being sold a lie. Huge numbers know that the attempts to create divisions between public and private sector workers and between different groups of ordinary people are an attempt to weaken us.
Communities all over the country have organised to resist hospital closures, cuts in hospital services, education cuts and other attacks on social services. Senior citizens fought valiantly, and ultimately victoriously, to retain the right to a medical card for over 70's.
Communities and workforces all over the country are organising resistance to threatened attacks and cutbacks. Groups such as Waterford Crystal workers, Visteon workers in Belfast, Thomas Cook workers, Custom House cleaners in Dublin, Marine Terminals Ltd. Workers (Dublin port) and Mr. Binman workers (Co. Tipperary) and many more have fought back against job losses and attacks on working conditions.
The Social Solidarity Network is coming together to provide a forum for workers and communities to unite to resist the attacks, and to build links across the many struggles which will break out over the coming months. On Saturday 3rd October we are holding a meeting which will provide a chance for people to come together and share their personal experiences, explore the economics of the crisis and plan ways in which we can build resistance.
We have identified 3 main areas for discussion – Workplace Resistance; Unemployed/Unwaged/Community Resistance; Education Cuts resistance. In each of these areas we want to explore how opposition to government cuts can be encouraged and co-ordinated. These are of course only our ideas and we are open to suggestions for alternative or additional workshops.
We hope that you will come along on the day, share your views and help to build a network which can share skills, knowledge and experience and which can help to bring reality to the old maxim that ‘Unity is Strength’.
