🗣️‘From South Africa to Palestine: Lessons from the Dunnes Stores Strike’ With Karen Gearon
📆 Wednesday 10th June, 7pm
📍 Áras Uí Chonghaile
In the 1980’s, Dunnes Stores workers in Ireland made history by striking against handling South African goods under apartheid. This discussion revisits their courageous stand, explores the power of boycott as a tool of solidarity, and considers its relevance today in movements like BDS and the struggle for Palestine.
Karen Gearon is a community worker and former Dunnes Stores employee, best known as one the shop stewards who led the 1984-87 anti-apartheid strike at Dunnes’ Henry Street branch in Dublin.
