Many people ask me what they can do to protest Trump in America when they don't live in a big city where there are constant protests. Well, definitely call your reps and go to any town halls. Also, there is still time to write a postcard for The Ides of March (Trump) . The idea that the White House becomes flooded with the postcards of concerned citizens on March 15th. I used my photos of protests for postcards (though, they were printed out for nine cents at Walgreens because Trump doesn't deserve my art anyway) and wrote the following:
CHICAGO RESISTS your attacks on:
Immigrants
LGBTQ
Freedom of the Press
Freedom of Religion
Minorities
Human Rights
Facts and the Truth
Democracy
Women
Science and the EPA
Intelligence and Information
Public Education
Labor Unions
Clean Air and Water
People with Disabilities
Here's a link for more about this political action:
You can mail the White House your postcard at the following address:
The President (for now)
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500
Note: Though I wrote and sent this out before the GOP unveiled their disastrous health care bill to replace the Affordable Health Care Actl, if i still had it now, I would add health care to this list. They really do seem to want anyone who isn't poor or white to basically just die.
Officer Baconworthy: "Put down the megaphone."
James: "It's not illegal to use a megaphone."
Officer Baconworthy: "Yes it is; you need a permit to use it."
James: "We tried applying for a permit but West Des Moines city hall told us it was not required." (True story, as the megaphone is a 10 watt device, and devices that require a permit are 50+ watt amplifiers.)
Officer Baconworthy: "You can either put down the megaphone, or you can go to jail."
We, of course, did not go to jail, but continued using the megaphone. This prompted two more cops to show up, who again failed to take us to jail.

Runnymede in the English county of Surrey – from the Old English runieg (council island) and mede (meadow) – was where the Magna Carta was sealed by King John on 15th June 1215.
The Magna Carta has become one of the most important documents anywhere in the world. It marked the path to individual freedom, parliamentary democracy and the supremacy of law, restricted the excesses of the elite, and has been copied and followed by scores of countries.
Article 39 is all-important: “No free man shall be taken, imprisoned, outlawed, banished or in anyway destroyed, nor will we proceed against or prosecute him, except by lawful judgement of his equals and by the law of the land”.
The European Convention of Human Rights, the Constitution of the United States and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are all based upon Magna Carta, as are the laws of countless democracies throughout the world.
The memorial, pictured here, centres upon a pillar of English granite (below) on which is inscribed "To commemorate Magna Carta, symbol of Freedom Under Law". The memorial was provided by the American Bar Association and was unveiled in 1957.
The Runnymede water meadow is owned and administered by the National Trust, with (of course) free access to all.
Since my dire situation in #Greece seems to be to the liking of the countries from which I have been asking for help so far; I decided to plea with other countries as well if not for anything at least for urgent humanitarian relief and mediation in resolving this ongoing hostage-taking and my complete deprivation in this country.
#Japan is one of those countries. But the treatment I was given at their embassy in Athens last Thursday was not so different from what I have been experiencing in particular at the U.S. and Australian Embassies for all these years.
Because they also called the Police and I was eventually taken to the district Police Station where they held me in Custody for nearly 3 hours before I was being let go again, without ever being able to see anyone from Japan’s Embassy.

We, women and men, of all beliefs, of all political positions, and of all skin colours, immigrants, immigrants' descendants, citizens, conscious of the important contribution of immigration to our country, have enough of unworthy remarks made by certain political officials aiming at stigmatizing or criminalizing immigrants and their descendants.
Let us recall that an immigrant is perceived as he is by the others even beyond his own origins. We would like to re-adapt and to rehabilitate this term which is used in a derogatory way because of the political instrumentalisation.
We refuse the (conveyed) stereotypes which threaten our social cohesion. We refuse that the past, present and future’ benefits of immigrants who built and continue to build this country are denied. So it depends on us to emphasize the importance of immigrants in this country!
Immigrants and descendants of immigrants held several demonstrations to defend their rights. But they were scornfully rejected! So as it is agreed that “consumption is the engine of growth, indignation stirs us to action!!!
The 1st of March 2005 was the day the “code of foreigners' entry and stay and right to asylum” came into effect. This law symbolizes a utilitarian conception of immigration, in other words, an immigration based on economic requirements. We couldn't have picked a better day to call for “a Day without immigrants”.
We, immigrants, immigrants' descendants, citizens are aware of the contribution of immigration to our country”, we all generate economic growth of this country.
Our citizen’s approach assesses the potential contribution of each one of us to the economic prosperity. We have the Power to decide on our future, to take action and have our say on it!
March the 1st, 2010: we will abstain from consumer spending and /or working.
During 24 hours, so let us abstain from working in companies, associations, attending colleges, hospitals, buying, selling…For the first time, we decide not to take part in the life of “la Cité”.
We will mark our presence by our absence !

Save the Children.
Innocent children as young as this child on my portrait get caught in conflicts around the world and get killed or get injured or become disabled. These children have nothing to do with man made conflicts, they were just happened to be born in those regions. These children suffer the consequences of ugly political games that are played by all Super Powers and groups that spread terror. Most terror groups are often funded by Super Power Nations using them as tools to manipulate political situations in various regions in the world.
Save the Children, because the children give you hope that this world will be a better place someday.

Jewish and Muslim community leaders and New York elected officials joined hundreds of Jewish and Muslim New Yorkers to celebrate “Seder in the streets” on April 13, 2017; targeting Mayor DeBlasio, demanding resistance to Trump, an end to broken windows policing, and stronger sanctuary city policies. The celebrations began at City Hall steps with a press conference, followed by a march to Foley Square where the celebration concluded with an act of peaceful civil disobedience demanding an end to NYPD policies that target communities of color and enable deportations. A total of 6 people were arrested as a result of the action.

Gaza suffers under Israeli blockade
The one-and-a-half million Palestinians in Gaza are struggling to cope amid power cuts as Israel continues its fuel blockade of the territory.
The shutdown of Gaza's only power plant has prompted fears of a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
Moaiya Hassanain, a health ministry official, said: "We have the choice to either cut electricity on babies in the maternity ward or heart surgery patients or stop operating rooms."
Gaza City awoke on Monday to find bread shops and petrol stations closed.
----------------------------------------------
This, and the killings of other Palestinians during the week, plus the closures, "raise very serious questions about Israel's respect for international law and its Commitment to the peace process", Dugard said. He said it violates the strict prohibition on collective punishment contained in the Fourth Geneva Convention, and one of the basic principles of international humanitarian law: that military action must distinguish between military targets and civilian targets.
let us all be with gaza in its darkeness and suffer......till this have an end

Water is a limited resource. What each of us does in the world, how we live, does make a difference. As we learn the value of clean, safe water and how scarce it truly is, we can take steps to protect it and to get it to people who lack access today.
Did you know that neearly 1 billion people, mostly in the developing world, have no access to safe water? More than double this number - about 2.4 billion - have no access to any form of improved sanitation facilities. They could use your help to get it. Together we can make this world a better place!

The Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg is a masterpiece! Architecturally, it's world class, stunning, moving, deep. The information and displays have just the right balance of academic depth, human interest, interesting artifacts, and visual appeal. The areas are separated by ramps, just long enough to de-stress and contemplate what you've read, then get ready for the next set. While not perfect, Canada is a world leader in recognizing human rights and taking action. Nonetheless, this should be mandatory viewing for every Canadian, and for every visitor to the area, DO NOT miss this one!
