Uplifting conversation in Áras Uí Chonghaile this evening with Karen Gearon and Nuala Ní Scolláin.
We discussed Karen’s role as one of the Dunnes Stores workers who took a courageous stand against South African apartheid, and what that act of solidarity can teach us today.

Dunnes Stores workers made history by striking against handling South African goods under apartheid. This discussion revisits that courageous stand, explores the power of boycott, and considers its relevance today in movements like BDS for Palestine.
