City Centre on Sunday 3rd December to salute the memory of the anti-facist
volunteers of the Connolly Column and the International Brigades, who fought
70 years ago in the Spanish Civil War.
The Connolly Column was made up of working-class Irish Republicans,
Socialists, Communists and Trade Unionists, protestants and Catholics, who
volunteered to physically challenge the merciless rising tide of Fascism in
Europe during the 1930's.
Led by Socilaist Republican, Gaelic scholar and IRA veteran, Frank Ryan,
they fought with great distinction in Spain, as part of the 15th
International Brigade.
The James Larkin Society believes that their courage and sacrifice, and
that of the International Brigades volunteers who came from Scotland, Wales,
England and all over the world, should never be forgotten.
They all fought in defence of democracy and the rights of ordinary people
against the threat of fascism. We take inspiration from their memory, in the
ongoing struggle against Imperialism, Fascism and Rascism in the world
today.
