I am sick of empty statements on Gaza from so many governments, including our own. We don't need words. We need widespread sanctions on Israel to force it to stop its genocide.

Paris Respire (English: Paris Breathes) is a brilliant car-free scheme where certain districts or quartiers, are closed to motorised traffic on Sundays and public holidays between the hours of 10am and 6pm. We would love to see similar initiatives across Ireland! So simple, yet so powerful!
