IN 2018 a thought-provoking anti-Nato conference was held in Dublin. The speakers included Aida Touma from Israel, Medea Benjamin from Code Pink in the US, Clare Daly from Ireland, Thea Valentina Gardellin from Italy, Aleida Guevara from Cuba and many other anti-war activists from around the world.
It was a very powerful conference exposing the warmongers of the world and building solidarity. The following year in Belfast for International Women’s Day, Daly shared a platform with Gardellin under the title of “Welfare not warfare.”
This year the Irish Communist Party are pleased to welcome back Daly (former TD and MEP) who will be speaking at the International Women’s Day event on March 6 at 7pm, in the First Presbyterian Church Hall, Rosemary Street, Belfast.
