CURRENT MISSION

To Stop SHELL OIL from putting a pipline in our estuary

ABOUT ME

Rossport Solidarity Camp was set up 7 years ago in solidarity with the local community,who bravely took on the giant Shell to stop them from building a highly dangerous high pressure gas pipeline past their homes.Although only a small rural community in the west of ireland despite all odds - 11 years on and the pipeline still hasn't been built!

The Rossport Solidarity Camp at Aughoose and Solidarity House at Poll an tSómais - both across the estuary from Rossport - is open for visitors to learn about the campaign and help work with the local community against Shell's Corrib Gas Project. We are always balancing campaign work with maintenance of the camp, house, office, vehicles and organic veg gardens.As well as regular direct Action If you are interested helping in any of the above send us a couch request and we'll get back to you asap!

PHILOSOPHY

dance instead of walking,sing instead of shouting,do your best to do the best and see the best in everyone,a smile can brighten up a strangers day,a hug can mean more then words,keep your eyes open,learn from every mistake.

Since ive lived on camp i've learn't so much from everybody there,we live in a very different way to most people- you can learn preactical skills about permaculture,gardnening,wind turbines. or skills in construction on yurts benders ect, you can learn how we collectively organise, and how to facilitate meetings, how to write a press release ect...i dunno it depends who's there and how much free time they might have.we also often have skill share weekend
