OUR WORLD IS NOT FOR SALE!
OUR WORLD IS NOT FOR DESTRUCTION!
ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE!

Saturday May 1 2004 - "International Workers Day"
MARCH AGAINST WAR, RACISM, PRIVATISATION AND POVERTY.
Assemble 1 pm, Nye Bevan Statue, Queen Street
Cardiff.

May Day has always been a day of festival and celebration for the common people from the middle ages to the present day.

In the last hundred years it has been a day in which working people across the world celebrate solidarity and unity.

In more recent years it has been a day of militant anti-capitalist protest and confrontation with authority.

Cardiff Stop the War Coalition hopes to combine all these traditions in a march for social justice.

Other organisations such as Cardiff Trades Council and comminity groups are currently being approached to help make this the biggest May Day celebration in Cardiff in recent years. Anti-war groups in Swansea, Blackwood and other parts of South Wales are also reported to be supporting this march.

This May Day will take place against the backdrop of the colonial occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, the building of an apartheid wall in Palestine, a rise in racism and an attack on pensioners and workers rights.

OTHER EVENTS PLANNED FOR MAY DAY INCLUDE CRITICAL MASS CYCLE RIDE THROUGH THE CITY CENTRE, ASSEMBLE 10 am CITY HALL and

BUSKERS FESTIVAL, 12 noon, Queen Street, Cardiff. Stalls, music, food - bring instruments.
