1916 Societies NYC announces that the Natl. AOH has unanimously voted to support the Societies One Ireland one vote campaign at their recent Convention in Atlantic City

1916 Societies NYC are pleased to learn that the Ancient Order of Hibernians, an important organization within the Irish Diaspora in the United States, has unanimously endorsed a resolution put to their National Convention in Atlantic City on July 14th, welcoming and lending support to our ‘One Ireland One Vote’ initiative.
‘One Ireland One Vote’ is the flagship campaign of the 1916 Societies – an Irish separatist movement of whom we are an affiliate. It calls for an All-Ireland Referendum on Irish Unity, that an Independent and 32-County Irish Republic might proceed from an end to partition rule in Ireland.
Following months of discussion with and within the broad Irish-American community, beginning with our own formation less than a year ago and developing from there, this represents an exciting development for both ourselves in New York and our friends and colleagues back home in Ireland.
Our vision for a ‘New All-Ireland Republic’ is now gaining traction among the Irish Diaspora, something we are immensely proud of given the connections that have long existed between Irish America and the Republican Movement, connections we know to be of utmost importance to the cause of Irish Independence.
Moving forward, republicanism and its hopes for a united and free Ireland, while faced with massive challenges, yes, finds itself in a position whereby a changing world brings new opportunities.
In that context, we consider that our ‘One Ireland One Vote’ proposal offers an effective platform to press ahead and maximize those same opportunities, holding likewise that the endorsement by the AOH is a significant development towards that end, as the campaign for Irish Independence enters what we hope will prove its final phase.
