Demanding Britain Hold Northern Ireland Election

To:  The British, Irish and American Governments

Five years ago, the people of Ireland endorsed the Good Friday Agreement as a bridge to a new future, free from division, injustice, violence and inequality. At the core of the Agreement are political institutions representing all the people of Ireland. The British government has suspended these institutions on four separate occasions, against the wishes of the majority of Irish people.
The British government has now cancelled an Irish election, disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of people. This is in breach of the Agreement and against the wishes of the Irish government and the Irish people. The process of change must not be subject to a unionist veto or British government manipulation.
We the undersigned demand that the British government establish a date specific for these cancelled elections and hold them.
On May 29th people across the Ireland and the United States will peacefully demonstrate their opposition to the anti-democratic actions of the British government.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
