Remember the IWW on Anzac Day
by Jeremy Dixon Saturday April 21, 2007 at 03:05 PM

This is a crucial event which need more support.

So we are now coming around to the fourth annual remembrabce of the great IWW victory against conscription. I am just now buying the balloons to make the skulls for a "War Tree". The enthusiasm is running a little dry but I feel it important that this event be kept up. *

Earlier this year I tried to attract interest for a steering group, but no go. I think this is a pity; it is important for us to stay in touch with our past. And I put it to you, comrade, on the most personal level: If you do not do something on Anzac Day are you not going to feel slightly ill at all the jingoism around? I know I used to.
So 10:30, April 25, 171 Lt Bourke St, cnr Lt Bourke and Russell. That is where the old IWW HQ was. Hope to see you there. For more information follow this link:

I am expecting the event to be much the same as previous years. Its important to show a little persistence. We didn't have "strikelets", red-died pikelets last year. Someone might like to organise that.



*("be kept up" that's the subjunctive there, hope you liked it!)
