We need your support
by Joe O'Connor, lead organiser

To: All members based in Dublin
 
This Saturday April 7th, Fórsa will be taking part in a major national housing demonstration, organised by the National Homeless and Housing Coalition, and supported by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions. 

 

Fórsa is a proud member of this coalition, and Saturday's demonstration is the most significant collective action to date since the onset of the housing crisis. 
 
The Fórsa delegation will meet at our Nerney’s Court office at 12.30pm, before assembling at the Garden of Remembrance at 1pm. Fórsa Deputy General Secretary Kevin Callinan will be among the speakers at the demonstration.
 
We are asking you to join us on Saturday as we press for action alongside trade union colleagues, NGOs and homeless charities, students, renters, community action groups, political parties and many more.

 

We urgently need your support on Saturday, please join us.


This issue affects many of our members and their families very deeply. Rising rents and house prices continue to place great pressure on incomes, and the country's worsening homelessness crisis remains a source of deep shame for our society.

 

Saturday is also the first major opportunity for our new union to have very prominent, visible presence at a major public event such as this, and Fórsa’s colours will be well represented with banners, flags and placards on the day.
 
We hope you can be there – Please contact me directly by email to confirm you can make it.

 

With thanks

Joe O'Connor
