Veteran civil rights campaigner Bernadette McAliskey

Civil rights veteran Bernadette McAliskey has urged the Derry public to give their vote to People Before Profit’s Assembly candidate Shaun Harkin.

Said Ms McAliskey: “In this election, Shaun Harkin carries forward the vision which forms a vital part of the beating heart of Derry City: its proud and unapologetic working class perspective; its radical vision; its directness, honesty and integrity.

“Shaun is one of an impressive slate of People Before Profit candidates flying the banner of the power of political action rather than the power of political privilege.

“As we face into economic hardship unparalleled since the 1950’s, we will need radical social and economic restructuring of power or else the majority of the people of Derry, regardless of creed or colour will be trampled on as the faceless greedy continue to build unneeded wealth, destroying our present and future.

“It does matter that you vote, not because the Assembly is any big shake, but because your vote against what currently exists matters.

“Your voice and your vote for something better matters even more.

“Shaun Harkin is the voice of socialism against poverty, prejudice and privilege in this election.

“Vote Harkin No. 1 in Foyle.

“Put the plain people first by voting People before Profit No.1 everywhere and then take your limited pick of other socialist, and progressive candidates.

“The struggle continues.”
