Amnesty International Wexford Group is organising a ‘Picnic Against Apartheid’ fundraiser next Sunday, July 13th in Redmond Park, Wexford town, from 2pm to 5.30pm.
It is a FREE, family friendly event which will feature guest speakers, and musicians playing throughout the day.
The aim is to highlight the apartheid system that Palestinians have been forced to endure for 76 years. Their torment has only been exasperated by Israel’s genocide. “This is genocide. Say it loudly. Say it clearly”, said Stephen Bowen, Director, Amnesty Ireland.
Founded in the 1990s, Amnesty International Wexford Group is one of eight Amnesty groups around Ireland contributing to that organisation’s tireless work in defending human rights all over the world.
Today, the Wexford group is very active in opposing the ongoing genocide in Gaza and holds a weekly protest in Redmond Square every Thursday at 6.30pm. All are welcome to attend and show solidarity with the people of Gaza.
