It’s been a heavy day💜.
We started this morning by making our position clear: Muslim Sisters of Éire has zero tolerance for racism, Islamophobia or discrimination. Comments of this nature will be removed, and those responsible will be banned from our platforms.
And then this evening, we did what we have done week after week for 11 years — we showed up.
Tonight, 420 hot, nutritious meals were served from six six-foot tables filled with food for our pals who were waiting for us.
There is something deeply ironic about starting your day having to defend yourself against racial discrimination, and ending it standing on the streets serving people from every background, nationality, faith and walk of life.
But we keep marching on — because our hearts are with the people we serve.
For over a decade, we have stood shoulder to shoulder with them. We have listened to their stories and wiped their tears. We have found clothes for people who had nothing and put shoes on the feet of people who came to us barefoot. We have advocated for people, helped some find homes, and, most importantly, reminded them that somebody cares.
Our soup run has no ID.
No nationality.
No religion.
No race.
Our arms are open to everyone. We believe in dignity, compassion and respect for every human being.
And no amount of hate will change that.
If you would like to support our Friday Soup Run, we urgently welcome donations of sleeping bags, hygiene products, ambient/non-perishable food, chocolates, crisps, bananas, apples and oranges.
You can also sponsor a hot meal for just €3.50 through our website.

Thank you to everyone who continues to stand beside us, donate, volunteer and believe in what we do.
Hate will never stop us from helping. 💜

He raped a girl so brutally that her tampon had to be surgically removed. You have a daughter @jimmyfallon what the fuck is wrong with you. It is insane to me that this man has continued to be platformed and praised despite what he did.
To all the men who continue to kiss his ass, what if that was your daughter, sister, girlfriend, wife, or mother? What would you want to happen to the man who was responsible? How would you feel if the majority of people brushed off what happened and gave the man responsible millions of dollars and fame? Explain to me why he is allowed to live life as a free man after what he did.
The world, Europe, and Spain have faced this critical moment before. In 2003, a few irresponsible leaders dragged us into an illegal war in the Middle East that brought nothing but insecurity and pain.
Our response then must be our response now:
NO to violations of international law.
NO to the illusion that we can solve the world’s problems with bombs.
NO to repeating the mistakes of the past.
NO TO WAR.

Look at what they did to Gaza. They want you to not believe your own eyes.
This is not Hiroshima or Nagasaki but you would be forgiven for thinking it was.
CALL OUT THE GENOCIDE.
Congratulations to Catherine Connolly, the next President of Ireland.
Catherine will be a voice for peace, social justice and a united Ireland.
This is a landslide victory for humanity and for hope!
