Diversity not division event
It will take place at the Bishop's Palace at 1.30pm
An event called, 'Diversity, Not Division', will take place in Waterford City on Saturday, July 26.
The event is being organised by the Waterford Coalition Against Fascism (WCAF) which is a broad, non-partisan alliance of community groups, trade unionists, political representatives, cultural organisations, educators, artists, faith leaders, and concerned residents.
It will take place at the Bishop's Palace at 1.30pm
A spokesperson said the peaceful, positive, and friendly gathering in Waterford City will be aimed at showing "how great communities can be made even greater by inclusion".
“This is not a protest against people’s genuine concerns about housing, healthcare, or the cost of living. We fully support the right to demand better — but we reject efforts to twist that anger into racism, fear or hate,” said the organisers.
“Waterford has a proud history of solidarity, inclusion, and resistance to fascism. We aim to honour that legacy by standing up for the values that truly make our city strong: diversity, dignity, and unity.”
The event will feature speakers, music, cultural performances, and community voices — all coming together to celebrate what unites us and push back against those who seek to divide us. To endorse or get involved, email: waterfordagainstfascism@gmail.com
