About The Solidarity Camp
At the invitation of the local community, the Rossport Solidarity Camp was set up in June 2005 with the intention of supporting the people of the area in their stand against the Corrib Gas Project. The camp has set up at strategic points of opposition to Shell in Rossport, Glengad, and now in Aughoose. Over the years we’ve
built strong ties with the people and the place itself. The camp has provided a base for the free flow of information with visitors coming from all over the world, spreading awareness about the campaign and injustices faced by communities at the hands of Shell and the state. Workshops have been held in sustainable skills, radical politics, facilitation and renewable energy. We have also hosted talks and courses on many aspects of the Corrib project and resistance to it with speakers from other campaigns having visited. Vegan Food is provided on camp, donations are welcome at the Rossport Solidarity Camp. Bring a sleeping bag, warm clothes, waterproofs & waterproof footwear, head-torch if possible, cameras, tent, extra food if possible & Good Vibes! Musicians are invited to bring their instruments to play some tunes. Síocháin
