More groups are being established

With the brilliant 1000+ person feeder march from West Belfast {organised by the West Belfast anti war movement group} and Mondays equally brilliant 300+ school students at the School Students Against War {SSAW} debate, other groups are now starting to get organised. Around 100 Belfast Lecturers have signed up against war with also a teachers group established and other anti war groups of organised workers under way. The huge interest that SSAW in Belfast has drawn with their actions and TV, Radio slots they have got along with the media articles written about them has gathered them many hundreds of students to their debates and protests from catholic and protestant areas all around Belfast. Similiarly hundreds more have attended the local anti war activist meetings and groups all around Belfast with hundreds more again attending fundraising events. We believe that these new groups will find similiar success.
