The youth arm of the United Workers Party (UWP) will be holding a National Youth Rally in St. Joseph on May 25.
The rally, dubbed “Youth in it too”, will see young people from around Dominica express their views on the developmental, social economic and political issues affecting the youth in Dominica, according to organizers.
“We the youth leadership of the UWP Team Dominica came up with the idea of a rally organized by youth and for youth where we the youth would give our perspectives as to what kind of Dominica we would like to see for ourselves,” UWP youth president, Anwar Cadette, explained.
He said the idea was presented to the UWP Management Committee and the green light was given.
“We the Youth feel very empowered by the confidence which the UWP Team Dominica has placed in us, in allowing us to plan and implement such a rally ourselves,” he stated.
Cadette described the rally as “a family affair for all colours”
“whilst ‘The Youth in it too’ Rally is being organized by the Youth Arm of the UWP Team Dominica, all youth are impacted on by government’s policy and action,” he noted. “Too often have our youth been stereotyped and their negative actions highlighted. Too often our youth have been stereotyped as ‘we want it now generation’. Whilst it may sound like our youth want everything, and we want it now, that is not really the case. Our Youth know that money is not all. Youth want to be positively engaged. Youth want to be respected, trusted and empowered. This Rally is a Test for us. We wish to thank the UWP Team Dominica for their trust and confidence in us.”
He noted it is for this reason all youth are invited to the event.
“Therefore Dominican Youth of all political and religious affiliations, are invited to The ‘Youth in it too Rally’ at St Joseph on 25th May, starting at 3:00 pm,” Cadette stated. “And as you know, the youth who get family support and appreciation always do better, so we are inviting parents, grandparents, big brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts and the entire family, to come to give support to the youth.”
He even noted that it is okay to wear party colors to the rally.
“But you can even be creative like on ‘Come as you Like Day’ and come in any colour,” he explained, noting that the rally signals “a new level of engagement of our youth in national affairs.”
BLA BLA BLA…… Time for election to call so workers cann so have a sit for another 5 years.. with their “change is a must” nonsense.. and what changes are they going to make? saying something and actually doing it are two very different things. i am a young person myself and i hav witnessed change with the current government that has infact improved the country and many youths. so why on earth would i be pushing for change when labor is helpin and are still figuring out ways to assist everyone.. leave them in government , let them finish what they have started.. No one government will every b perfect.. labor has its flaws .. but they are working.. the only changes need to be made is that skerrit personal oversees that every parl rep is doin his/her job and nt jus take their word for it.. skerrit has alot of great ideas but some of parliamentary representatives arent working hard enough to back it up.. if that is fixed then all is well
can some one in Dominica tell me what did the DLP came into office with 13 years ago ? if it was not just talking and then thay put some of the DOM-IN-CANS to sleep so thay can have all what thay have today
Come on! It’s obvious that this initiative is being coordinated that the UWP senior leadership and not the youth as they pretend. The whole reason for calling it a “youth rally” (that is opened to every one – from granny to baby) is to have something to fall back on when 800-1,000 people show up. I will be listening to see if I am wrong. The speakers and the content of their speeches will show who this is geared towards.
Is this the same UWP that say Labour stealing their ideas? Let them follow the leader. They will continue to be lead by the Labour Party in government and they all will be out of Parliament. 0 to UWP 21 to Labour. It really looks like it.
Workers have a money man!!! Anyways all u can come up with original ideas eh, everything the Red Party does all u following, ok so follow the leader, follow the leader, not a bad idea, there must be something good in the Leader that they see and they follow. You follow!!!!!!!
but y u doin like someone that illiterate. wat is politics? 2 parties they hav to campaign for there parties, 21 constituencies,they hav to go to all even if it takes them bouncing into one another, so nothing like follow d leader.
Is follow de leader, you follow!!!! go somewhere else nah, Grandbay, Pointe Michel some else, come up with some original idea. So the five islands in five days is 21 constituencies too. Answer that. One thing I know is UWP pwee can’t win no elections they can have convention all in the sea, up the mountains but Laborites are die hard.
Allu that supporting those rallies financially watch it, cause it might just cul-lay allu business, remember they are not getting into office this time, so they cannot pay back. Be smart.
Look beyond your red shade st***d
This is an excellent move and I commend the youths, but this is not the first of such initiates, and it reminds me of the days of the real Dominica Freedom Party. Gone are those days!
I am a labour rite living in England and I love the party but there is a lady that called kairi fm every day slandering the opposition I think she need to control her self
I get so upset with her when ever she called I lock of my phone
Mami
Preacher shut up…………you must listen to Q and hear what they hv to say about the Government…..
Great initiative guys. I will be there. At least its an open forum for the youth to express themselves. I was appalled at the DLP motorcade – ladies sticking out of vehicles screaning in empty buses being lead by the police, ..! LOL. good griff..!
It appears I am leaning more towards that side…! This could be a potential vote for the UWP.
That has always been the case. even when Freedom was around. Except in those days its was our grandmothers and them on the motorcade.
Congratulations to the UWP Team Dominica for promoting the youth is such a big way… As a parent my assessment is that the youth of this country have been totally misguided by poor governance over the past 14 years. Anyone who is under 30 years grew up in a country where mepuis, lawlessness and corruption is the order of the day…My children survived because of the strong guidance I gave them…but many did not and became beggars and prostitutes …Thanks to Team Dominica and leader Lennox Linton…Dominica has been brought back on a strong path of truth, honesty , integrity and good governance.
All youth of Dominica should attend this rally and become uplifted form the gutters…You need strong values and principles in your own personal life in order to progress …And bring along your parents because some of them have been very misguided in their support of the labour party…More Power to the UWP!!!
You are right!!! DLP is corrupting our young people… Ensuring every child in a household gets schooling, the scholarship programs, the school bus programs, the NEP programs, the small business funds and more… Lolzz you are so right DLP is corrupted. You’re right, the young people need to go to the rally in St Joe to be lifted from the gutter, to call people names and publicly blast people (example madame speaker the nasty, or Skerro the little boy) when things don’t go their way. To be lifted from the gutter and become bitter and angry when they don’t personally recieve something but forget the hundreds on the yes we care program, benefit from the petro caribe gas, roads, bridges ans so much more,
lolzzz My dear you need stop listening to what is being said and open your eyes and see, that Change has already been happening years ago. You want change but what change, for the better or for the worse?
Copy cat or not all I know first time all my ice pop sell so fast – so UWP come St. Joe self it good for us wee; bring o crowd whether is 20k or 2k – we need the business infact all you that is Labour and UWP can have a rally there every other month ; it good for my buiness wee. I doh care who support who once the crowd there my ice pop will sell;
Team Dominica went to Church in St. Joe to mock the Labourites, you all think St. Gerald absent.
This is the first time I will be voting in St.Joseph,after listening to labour I was not convinced.I hope UWP will be able to inform and educate me about the relevant issues affecting my country.UWP is my party of choice already,i need a job,i need a change !!!
Hope D.B.S. will be carrying this one live???????. money talks but # walks. please pay for the spot for D.B. S. to broadcast the rally. I cant wait to listen.
Why a u labourites crying for? It’s time for change workers
Listen to Q..thats where you will hear crying
But those desperates in Labour Party not easy. All you had 80 000 people in St Joseph, and another 150 000 supporters at their homes, why can’t Team Dominica assemble 20 people in St Joseph on Sunday? that all you are jealous of?
Labourites must stop this despertation. IT’S NOT GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY!
Learn To Lose Fairly Please Man.
CHANGE IS A MIUST.
WORKERSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.
>80000
That is more people than the entire damn country
Stop your ignorance. Dominica alone doesnt even have 80000 people let alone 150000.
@SMH You simply cannot understand what the blogger means. I feel sorry for you.
All you Dominican people when are youguys gonna grow up,Stop all that maypew and respect each other opinions. Dirty politics in D/A.
@jojo YES WE. That’s why i will always blame Skerrit for his failure as a leader to lead the way. Remember his famous or infamous’ Go To Hell’ ‘Go To Hel;l ‘Go To Hell”? It’s none of your dam business where Labour Party getting money. His cluelesss and gullible supporters cheered at that. That’s why so many people refer to him as an insultive and bad leade and bad example.
These words were directed at one man…..Lennox Linton. So what’s your point?
Workers introduce hateful politics to Dominica, remember the Miss Charles saga, the blocking of roads, q95 can replay all Lennox you and I programme and you hear the truth.
Not Skerrit to lead you and your children. Is you to lead your family, blasted fool.
I would be happy if you all would PASS A RESOLUTION, unequivocally condemning the DENEGRATION of our bold and brave Dominican women who have opted to serve their people in the political arena. This should be done after reference is made to the vicious and shameful verbal attack hurled at Monnel by Austrie on Labour Day in St Joseph, which forced the Doninica National Council for Women (DNCW) AND LEVEL HEADED DOMINICANS, both here and abroad to bow their heads in shame. While all this was happening there were other females giggling and clapping. I SAY SHAME ON THEM!
While it is a fact that the Labour Party politicians do not have the brilliance and intellect to discuss issues germaine to the development of Dominica, it would serve these DUNCE CATS, well to stop the diatribe, tongue lashing, insults, and denegration of people particularly women during their rallies.
This is really heartening to see the youths from Team Dominica is taking the initiative to spearhead this rally, and yes is can loudly say:
CHANGE IS A MUST. NOT AN OPTION!
HOW LONG?
NOT LONG!
I am a woman with a career, the issue isn’t a woman issue. The candidate of the St. Joseph constituency threw herself in the political ring. Please do not make it a woman’s issue. She choose to be in the spot light, the conscious decision was made by her. Being a loving and nurturing mother should be her first priority. Lots and lots of us are working in an environment that is dominated by men. Now do not cry crocodile tears for her, she mad herself venerable.
@wELCOME uwp You must be one of the disrespectful Labourites who were calapping . You need to go bury your face under a ton load of sand. SHAME ON YOU AND HOPE YOU ARE NOT FRO DOMINICA!!!! Are ypou really a woman?
@Welcome UWP Typical Labour Party supporter response. That’s why people who know better are leaving you all in droves. WHAT A DEBASING AND SHAMEFUL STATEMENT. You must be a blown out brain. Thank God you are not representin Dominican women. You seem to be a wo, not a woman.
Welcome UWP I suppose great leaders such as Hillary Clinton, Thatcher and others had the same negative mind set as you? or did they?
You sound very old fashion and comfortable. I am sure you are thinking that the woman’s place is in the kitchen and barefoot and pregnant.
Get with it lady.
@Welcome UWP You have no dam career. Independent women with careers are not talking moronic and shameful stuff like you. A woman? Well if yes, your name meust be “Miss NO Shame”. Stay in your Labour Party . I doubt UWP needs people like you.
being a politician is not a career? I wonder what kind of career you have. shameless woman.
Shamne on you wonam. Go and hide in the Labour Party. SHAMELESS.
@Welcome UWP I wonder what type of career women you are there. If you are a woman, stop insulting yourself. Are you shameless.? Sure you do not represent our descent Dominican women. I firmly condemnn all attacks on women in politics.
you say, you have a career, ok and you have children ???? I guess not, the kind of women like you dont have time for children, no mother love inside you, or if is make you canot make, that is your business, but dont be jealous of women who can have career and children… that s not incompatible. WE LOVE MONELL !!!!!
Thats the truth. Anyhow you make yourself a public figure, whether you are a man or a woman. you are fair game. Women want equal rights, but when things arent in their favor as a person, they like to pull that “woman” crap. No you are a human just like skerrit on that podium. What makes it fair for him or any of his people to be able to take maypwe because they are men, but not fair for u to come under the same maypwe just because you are a woman? Accept the responsibility pal. All that comes with the package.
Nun, if you really want to be fair and make a point and want to talk about how we want to be respectful of women; we cannot pick and choose which women or only women from the party we support.
We have had women being disrespected for years like the former Prime Minister Ms. Charles; The Present Speaker of the House and also former Parliamentarian Ms, Bannis-Roberts to name just a few of our woman in politics right here in Dominica by members of the UWP. Why go all the way to the US?
Maybe at their copycat Rally; of course why would they have a rally a mere 20 days at the same location; (Is that a DLP idea they have stolen?) Was a very good one, if they can recreate one better than the DLP, good for them.
However; they should come and apologize to all the negative things they have said about these women and the many others and promise never to ever disrespect any women in any way or form. Anything less is sheer hypocrisy. So I will be listening.
Did not hear you when insults were hurled at Mrs. Boyd-Knights…. Austrie did not say anything out of order……please listen to the audio again……and again……!
Shut up blasted hypocrite. When allu was giving the speaker of the house blows, it wasn’t degrading?
Workerssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All the way change is a MUST.
Ok yah so support Monelle an scene u check. So Workers winning u check
Why a u labourites crying?u all had 20,000 so the remained a going to St Joe on Sunday. Change is a must
not change for the worse…..! Be careful what you wish for. This aggressive desperate gang has nothing to offer Dominica.
Am going to ST. JOE to see workers crowd but all in RED so you can’t count me as a UWP supporter.
Follow the leade,r leader, leader!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was in st Joe To I just hate labor from that day.
Youths on the move,all roads lead to st.joe,we voting for change in st.joe.Change is a must,workersssssss !!!!
@John bess.
ALL THE TIME!
Youth Rally planned for 11th may! wow….people watch the poster, what happen all u planned all u rally a week after Labour was there? dont understand. and they using the same Triple Kay for the free sewo. Be innovative nuh
@By Stander Why are you vex sweetie. Relax yourself baby. I LOVE YOU!
CHANGE IS A MUST! NOT AN OPTION!
True that
they changed it to the 25th which was suppose be the DLP rally in Mahaut that same day……look drama!!!! 
It is amazing to see how quick amnesia can kick in with the UWP people! The party has made St. Joseph their political embarrassment, by proclaiming that St. Joseph is the poorest village in Dominica. The village has been their target of mockery and embarrassment. Now, they a planning a youth really in St. Joe. How LOW will you stoop? the church service you attended you made a total fool of yourselves until the law had to step in. In choosing a person to represent the St. Joe constituency, you choose a person who doesn’t have any affiliation with the people. I am a mother, grandmother, aunt etc. in no uncertain terms would I tell my family to look to the young lady for guidance or to mimic her behavior. S
It’s amazing to see how the rally is getting you sick. POOR PITY. I think if you could stop it, YOU WOULD.
CHANGE IS A MUST!
Who said that St. Joseph was the poorest village in Dominica? Not UWP! It was the labour party who said so. UWP is just re emphasising what they said! Because it was under thier watch that St. Joseph came that way! Shame!
But change is coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Change is the only constant… It is a must… Not an option!!!
Young… i doe getting your point na every time workers say or do something is never them that do it for all you..is the same way when something bad happen is always skerrit they always blaming so immature
You are so correct. Desperate men. hungry for power, whose hands and hearts are not clean will do anything. The worse is yet to come. The UWP Gang will say and do anything to get into office. They are relying on the ignorance of their supporters. We will never forget the mismanagement of the economy from 1995-2000. I will remind them.
yeah? timothy was the holder of the country’s purse then.. where is he now? with labour…
so what you sayin? you must have forgotten.
They say is a youth rally, yet they encouraging all family members, including people of different colors to be there. What happen? you’ll fraid the numbers will not show as the Labour number did on the Sat 3rd?….if you’ll realize it was mostly youth and hardly any adult….smh
@ DOminican for sure……don’t be stupid we are not afraid of anything. you all are. and what numbers???? oh please. I was there. you all didn’t had a crowd. youth rally and your p.m and parl rep had nothing to say to you all than he is saving his voice for the labour day convention. smdh. open all you eyes…. idiots…….
Watch that they going to say a poem for lennox eh
wat uwp youth?so much old people i know that planning to go.
Sounds wack
An affair for the family huh? All i see there is you can do we can do too. Chupes Copy cat come up with something different UWP. Who seems to be the coppy cats now? Don’t tell me that you all have already run out of ideas come on too early for that.
Thats Labour DESPERATION…… Desperation or not, Change is coming!
After months of absrobing their attacks and their insults, we hit them with one rally. One likkle big rally and they are still trembling!
It is clear that the UWPwee was shaken by the DLP’s Senjoe event. However, its responses have revealed the inexperience of its leaders, the extent of their fear (especially for that constituency…..see whose picture is front center in that poster above), and the confrontational nature of the party. Logically, that upcoming event will be seen through the dust of the DLP’s May 5th drumroll. It will therefore, always be seen as a source of comedy. A rather foolish move by the UWPwee, butthen again…we are used to these decisions that defy logic.
BTW, DNO, you know i did not notice an article from your desk promoting the DLP youth motorcade that was held on May 3. Guess what? I did not expect you to. You are very obvious, DNO. Very!
You don not make sense there. Why are you vex nah? Let the young people do their thing. Your comment is so empty. Are ;you Skerrit? Who is the young female candidate for St Joe,? Not Monnel nah?
Stuppesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss. The 100 000 people you are claining St Joseph had seem to cause you all to be panicking even more man? OMG! Sit down, relax and let us do it in St Joseph with our 20 people. DON’T GET HEART ATTACK SIR/MADAM!
isn t it amazing how 100 000 people are afraid of 20 people. that is david killing giant goliath with a sling slot.
CHANGE MUST COME AND QUICK TOO.
Kelvar’s picture was big and bold on his flyers for his motorcade – why shouldn’t Ms Williams own be on her flyer?
Well Peeping Tom if DNO is obvious, I would suggest you migrate somewhere else that is not obvious.
Have you written to Kairi FM and DA Vibes and even DBS Radio?
Are they not obvious?
You post comments on virtually every DNO story despite, according to you DNO is so obvious. I don’t see your comments on any other site. Why?
I think DNO is more balanced than most, if not all, media houses in Dominica. Have you seen the Chronicle? I think they should rename that newspaper The Labour Chronicle. Have you called as tell them they are so “obvious?”
DNO gives people like me an outlet to vent my frustration in this poor land.
If you don’t like DNO, piss off man.
Shaite man.
You are so right. You are a wise man. We will need to be strong to put out the truth, DNO,the Sun, etc…..the list goes on. They have their agenda’s…….. time will tell! They can’t stifle the truth……or bend it either!
I see no relevance in this so called youth rally! i mean come on, right after labour was there BAM allu coming to???? and with the same triple kay allu give blose awa wee! thats petty and childish!
Let them come.
What are you afraid of.
stop peeping and show your face. retarded.
@yesii. This is not being done for you to see relevance in it. IT’S OUR THING. OK!
our thing???? but u telling everybody come, you want me to bring my whole generation for team dominica to open our eyes but ya its not being done for me to see the relevance in it and hear u “our thing” ok THEN! way to T
Wasn’t a motorcade right before a convention irrelevant? What was the point of that?
wasnt it part of the labour weekend celebration?? fall back with your weak jabs!
STOP THE DESPERATION. RELAX. Change is a Must, Not an Option,.
Team Dominica, taking Dominicans from beggar days to better days
Great Initiative!
Don’t you mean repeat initiative? Been there, done that.
Why st Joe?I don’t get it oh I know we’ll go were labour go.
@bigredny Well start geitting it now.
Followers look up to Leaders, the UWP consists of a bunch of confused followers. They criticize every move of the ruling party, yet, the UWP constantly attempt to imitate the actions of the DLP. Our youth will say no to the false prophets, no to those who do not live what they preach and yes to our astute Leader. A man who works tirelessly on behalf of all Dominicans, he has listened and is attending to the cries of the Youth. He is not a miracle worker, however, he has implemented many measures to elevate our youth..Universal Secondary education, NEP, college scholarships, housing for the underprivileged, assistance with schooling expenses, the food program etc. What a caring man! DLP, for the continued development of Dominica!
Another who sang All OF Me to the PM…..what’s wrong with you Skerrit worshipers nah
@DC You are simply another Skerrit slave. Go to school, and try to have a brain of your own. Presently you are simply a lazy puppet in shackles.
@()..i support what DC is saying…stupes skerrit there doing all what he doing an all u have a problem with it why because all u supporting all u Novice nobody not stopping you and because someone supporting skerrit they are considered a slave rite rubbish…u that need to go back school with the crap you talking…it have people that can’t afford to further their education and for you all to be happy he assisting in all ways he can all u complain ..
I dere…… workersssssssssssss
So St Joe is the only place for rallies in Dominica. Uwp are copy cats to labour and they are calling it a youth rally just for pretence purposes.
Don’t be so ridiculous and you’re acting as though is labour that built St Joe! It is a community and is therefore available for anybody and any political party to use. UWP used St Joe numerous times to hold political rallies and Labour had their own there prior to this upcoming event. How does that mean that UWP is being a copycat? Did you not read that they are having a “youth arm” event there or can’t you understand the English Language? Where did you sense pretence?
You sound like you are capable of reading other people’s minds and that you have the ultimate right to judge. Very interesting
No need to get anxious because the truth hurts. Keep your blood pressure low because high blood pressure is deadly.
@anonymous Why are you killing yourself over that. relax baby relax!
Lmao very funny as i would say u r really kidding. Kill myself oh u wish. Labour ka travail don’t forget that. Lol. And shout labour is working for u and me and for everybody.
Will there be cow meat too?
@Moooooo How do you expect these intelligent youths to speak your garbage. Do you think that they are paro like you?
Mooooo i wandering wii…lol
lolol
Why not another constituency? Diversify the fun
Me n my Krew will be there for triple k OnlY !
Just like I was there for Labour rally….Triple K only
Come as you like?? LMAO
They say Labour Convention was a free sewo and they have the same Triple Kay now. SMH
Let’s not be the fool here. They are trying to match the mammoth crowd from May 5th so they are looking to hire a band that will bring that crowd to them.
Tell the truth KKK will not be playing. False and misleading information. But the cow will be mowing, lots of beef will be on sale. The cow says mow moooo
that is really true wii..so what happen wi can say is a free sewo that there now ok den
