🚨 MARCH FOR LOUGH NEAGH 🚨
1pm, Sunday 17th May
The Battery Bar to Ardboe High Cross
#FloodTheStreets
40 years ago this year, our communities stood against extraction in the form of Lignite mining. Now we must march again against the exploitation and extraction that has led to this ecocide!
On May 17th join families, swimmers, fishermen and more to walk for the Rights of Lough Neagh!
Stormont has failed our Lough, putting private interests, profit and growth above our natural environment and rights to clean drinking water. Meanwhile the Earl of Shaftesbury continues to earn money on sand dredging, disturbing the fragile ecosystem, while holding the Lough back with demands.
Our water service, crippled by decades of Stormont underfunding, is not fit for purpose as NI Water continues to empty untreated sewage in the Lough, all while the 5 main parties of Stormont who backed disastrous Going For Growth agri-policy, give rates relief and subsidies to massive polluters. Enough is ENOUGH! Put our environment FIRST!
