For 30 mins Martina Anderson signed books after her discussion + there were still around 200 people queued out the door waiting.
She already signed books for 45 mins before the event. Bottom line is the level of interest at @FeileBelfast in Martian’s book is phenomenal.

Went to this, the West was buzzing, full of colour, dance and music. Magical day out for kids and families. Well done to all those that organised it and took part.

The @FeileBelfast carnival parade has taken place in west Belfast. Over 6,000 participants walked the route from Dunville Park to Spórtlann na hÉireann. Féile an Phobail Director @Kevgamblefeile said: “We are absolutely delighted with the huge turnout today to take part, and to watch, the Féile Carnival Parade. “This year’s Féile has got off to an incredible start, with enormous concerts in the Falls Park for Ben Nicky and the 2 Johnnies, record numbers at Féile debates and discussions, and now today the biggest ever Féile Carnival Parade."

“The title of this book defines a moment in my life that has lived with me since.
“I was going on an IRA mission, and I had committed to it.
“I had fallen pregnant and I had choice to make, and I made the hardest and most difficult choice of my life, and I chose the struggle.”
Martina Anderson speaking at Féile an Phobail, at the launch of her book ‘Choosing Struggle’

The @FeileBelfast room holds about 500 + it feels like near double that turned up to hear Martina Anderson. The Derry woman is held in great esteem + much loved by the West Belfast community.

“Women who have an abortion are told to say nothing, to stay quiet, and to never speak about it.
“The emotional and moral shame of women has to stop.
“The onslaught on social media and attacks on me is the latest attempt to put us back in our box, but I do hope the telling of my story can help end the social shaming of women.”

“I didn’t learn my politics from books, I learned it from what was happening all around me in our community. We were living with extreme poverty and state oppression. We were living in the thick of it.”
