Activism Guide for Ireland
How Can You Help?
The Zeitgeist Movement Activism Guide, has been written and compiled by several contributers to the Movement in Ireland. In order that we can achieve our goal in positively changing our society, means we must get the word out to people that we don't have to live according to the way that things are now, it is obvious that the current system is out of date given the fact that the developed world has become little more than a corporatocracy. Below is our guide, and we ask that in all situations, you please be polite, and respecful, and be willing and prepared for any questions you might be asked. We are currently working on a Frequently Asked Questions system, and if you have any questions, or wish to pose any questions then you can contact Either myself HERE or MroDub HERE. We would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
The Zeitgeist movement needs all the support it can get, because true social change is just a matter of choice! We have the technology, and we have the knowledge, but we also have an obstacle, and that obstacle is the crooked corporate structure, and the self serving interests created by an elite controlled monetary system.
We would like to thank MRODUB our activism leader, for his very hard work and perseverance in compiling this activism guide for Ireland and all the other articles and guides he has submitted and emailed to other members.
Dear Members,
I would just like to ask that before we start our activism in Ireland that we don’t forget to view the projects page on www.zeitgeistmovement.com and make our mark on an international level as well. Also please be safe and don’t put yourselves in dangerous situations and try to work in teams of at least two if possible.
Thanks to everyone who gave their input and suggestions I know you put a lot of time in getting this info together also Peter Joseph has approved the guide so we can get started straight away.
Thank you,
Shane (MroDub).
