David Nihill tells the story of Dublin's Grapefruit Ladies.On 19 July 1984, Mary Manning, a 21-year-old shop worker in the Henry Street, #Dublin outlet of #DunnesStores, refused to handle the sale of grapefruit from #SouthAfrica. She was joined by other workers, and the strike lasted until April 1987 when the Irish government banned the importation of South African goods.Manning and her colleagues gained global recognition, and personal thanks from #DesmondTutu and #NelsonMandela.

The @dublininquirer crew are looking for help: "Will you help us with a reporting project? We want to test whether an self-checkout service at a Dublin shop is consistently flagging people with darker skin for extra checks. "We're looking for people with all different shades of skin to go in and buy a small item, on us, and let us know if you were flagged for extra checks."To get involved, email lois@dublininquirer.com#Dublin #MastoDaoine #AntiRacism

RE: https://mastodon.ie/@greenparty_ie/116013249032382203Absolutely thrilled to nominate and see my friend Janet Horner selected as our candidate for the upcoming Dublin Central by-election.Janet has worked relentlessly on improving the lives of those not just in her constituency but all of the city especially the marginalised and those who most needed support.She would make a great TD. Looking forward to the campaign trail!#politics #dublin #green #climate
