The Future We Need Group meeting on April 29th covered many aspects of advocacy leading up to the elections. The group looked at the various initiatives, which would offer opportunity to speak to or contact those going for public office in an effort to ensure that our politicians are aware and can make a difference in terms of care of Planet Earth.
Some of the group attended a session in the Carmelite Centre in Dublin where a variety of organisations were vocal on burning issues relating to a changed policy that will benefit our natural world here in Ireland. Among these were, Financial Justice Ireland, Social Justice Ireland, Trocaire, Nothere-NotAnywhere, Friends of the Earth and the Trade Unions.
After their meeting members celebrated with Denise Boyle FMDM (centre of above photo) who this year marked her Golden Jubilee on April 27th.
