We meet the 2nd Sunday of the month at the Treehouse Bar in Cleveland's Treemont area at 2 p.m.
Irish Northern Aid is an American
based non-profit organization formed to alleviate the suffering of the
dependents of Irish political prisoners through An Cumann Cabhrach in Dublin
and affiliates such as Green Cross in Belfast. Irish Northern Aid will
highlight the colonial and sectarian nature of partition and the British
occupation of Ireland as the inevitable reason for the present War of National
Liberation.
Irish Northern Aid seeks support for a free and
independent, thirty-two county Irish republic, governed in accordance with the
Proclamation of the Irish Republic issued on Easter, 1916.
Irish Northern Aid is an American-based,
humanitarian organization which together with An Cumann Cabhrach and Green
Cross gives support to families of political prisoners and to prisoners'
welfare. All monies raised by Irish Northern Aid are distributed in weekly
support payments. The amount is determined in accordance with the needs of each
family. Irish Northern Aid undertakes this activity recognizing that these
prisoners are the most extreme victims of British occupation in Ireland.
Irish Northern Aid promotes an American awareness of the nature of British
rule in Ireland. The British hold the six counties in order to exploit Ireland
as a colony. British rule is sustained by economic, political and social
privilege conferred on one segment of Irish people in order to artificially
divide them from fellow Irish people from their natural aspiration for an
independent Irish nation.
Membership of Irish Northern Aid is open to anyone no matter their religion, colour or sex. However it is a requirement that you have a genuine interest in Ireland and in the political affairs of Ireland.
There are currently 2 levels of membership available.
Level 1 - $5/year to join the local (Cleveland) Unit.
Level 2 - $25/year to join both the local unit and the national unit (based in New York).
All dues, both national and local should be sent to:
