Nach Angaben der Veranstalter nehmen rund 40.000 Menschen am 23.03.2019 an einer Demonstration durch Berlins Mitte gegen die geplante Reform des Urheberrechts auf europäischer Ebene teil.
Der Demonstrationszug passiert auf seiner Route den Sitz von Wikimedia ebenso, wie die Bundeszentrale der SPD. Aufgrund der großen Teilnehmerzahl muss die Strecke verlängert werden und endet nun am Brandenburger Tor, nachdem sie die Vertretung der Europäischen Kommission passiert hat.
Hauptkritikpunkt ist der der geplante Artikel 13 der Reform, der Internetanbieter verpflichtet, urheberrechtlich geschützte, nicht lizensierte Inhalte zu entfernen. Die Protestierenden befürchten, dass dies mittels Uploadfiltern geschieht, die einerseits technich unvollkommen sind, andererseits auch gezielt zur Zensur von Inhalten genutzt werden könnnten.
Zeitgleich finden in zahlreichen Städten in Europa vergleichbare Proteste statt.

Launch of “Freedom under threat” campaign to shine a light on the crackdown on rights and freedoms in Russia while the world is watching in the build-up to the Sochi Olympics in winter 2014.
The event involved an “Olympic relay” from Ottawa University with a colourful procession with music, costumes, acrobats, relay runners, and more. The relay ended at the Russian Embassy, where activists held a short demonstration holding signs and birthday cake for Putin, wishing for respect for human rights.

Perihan Magden, Orhan Pamuk, Maureen Freely and Alev Adil toasting Perihan's courage in the face of prosecution for freedom of expression
This is the duty of our generation as we enter the twenty-first century -- solidarity with the weak, the persecuted, the lonely, the sick, and those in despair. It is expressed by the desire to give a noble and humanizing meaning to a community in which all members will define themselves not by their own identity but by that of others.
-Elie Wiesel
Another good one:
States are not moral agents, people are, and can impose moral standards on powerful institutions.

Didn't ever get this guy's name. He gave the impression of being in charge and certainly worked as the MC for the event so I'm assuming this is Peter Rison (Voltaire).

Friday 3 May 2013: World Press Freedom Day (WPFD) celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2013. It was officially proclaimed during the United Nations General Assembly in 1993. Ever since then, UNESCO as the UN agency with the mandate to promote freedom of expression (including freedom of the press) has been promoting these fundamental rights in every region of the world. The British High Commission marked the day with a reception for journalists and bloggers.

"Thousands of anti-government protesters marched in Malaysia’s capital on Saturday demanding the resignation of the prime minister, Najib Razak, over his alleged involvement in a multibillion-dollar misappropriation scandal.
Clad in yellow shirts and unfazed by arrests of activists and opposition leaders just hours before the rally, protesters marched from various spots towards the heart of Kuala Lumpur amid tight security."

Part of the day yesterday was spent at the Fiesta Street Festival held on Ave. Del Mar in beautiful San Clemente. www.scchamber.com/Fiesta_Street_Festival.asp
There was a lot going on with thousands of people walking up and down the street eating, drinking, listening to live music, face painting and all that stuff. It was a good time for sure.
One thing I like about large crowds is that they tend to bring out all sorts of interesting people and this crowd was no different.
In this shot, the guy in the middle with the tattoo's all over his head decided to take issue with the sign holders on the opposite end of his religious spectrum. The people holding the sign didn't let his confrontational taunts phase them as they continued to march along spreading their message but tattoo guy had his moment in the spotlight and made his point to his own satisfaction. I think the large red 666 tat he had on the front of his neck was enough to make his beliefs clear to all. He eventually moved on back to wherever he rolled up from but not before posing for photos with adults and kids alike. Hmmm...
