Radical bloc at Pride 2017 in Dublin - Working Class Queeroes
Channel: Workers Solidarity Movement

Footage of the Working Class Queeroes bloc on Dublin Pride 2017 including the banner drop before Pride and the bloc smoking up the rainbow flag prior to crossing the river Liffey.

A lot of the rest of Pride this year was blocs from various big corporations, with some of those blocs comprising almost entirely of people wearing the same t-shirt with the corporate pride branding of their employers. That sort of misses the point of pride, this bloc restored some of the old spirit of rebellion and resistance to corporate rule.

Participants included Sex Workers' Alliance Ireland, Irish Housing Network, Refugee and Migrant Solidarity Ireland, Movement of Asylum Seekers Ireland, SAIA, Action Against Secret Internment Camps for Gay Men in Chechnya, Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign, US Warplanes out of Shannon, Afri, Need Abortion Ireland, Identity, and the Workers Solidarity Movement.
