Izzy Kamikaze grew up in a rural Catholic trade union household in the 1960s and spent the next five decades hellraising in and out of civil rights movements in Ireland. From the origin of the Pride marches in Ireland to the popular movement that successfully overturned the criminalization of abortion, Izzy talks about the constraints of institutionalizing activism and invites us to play “a few more wild cards” through her stories of provocative direct action.
