PETA Protesters interrupting the AJE fashion show at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival Sydney 2013
The protesters scampered down the steps to the front of the photographers pit, likely a calculated move to grab attention from all the media outlets. The protest occurred on the last day (Saturday August 24, 2013) of the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival during the Trends Show at approximately 8.13pm.
At first, i thought it was an over zealous fan that wanted to take a photo in front of the catwalk, but once the signs was shown it all made sense - it was a protest. It certainly added an unexpected excitement to the show.
There must of been a good 30 seconds where there was complete silence, the models just kept walking, the music stopped, then the lights faded to darkness as the security guards escorted them out of the hall.
A National March was held in Washington DC to protest the US support and funding of the attacks at Gaza. A rally started at Lafayette Park in front of the White House, with participants coming from all across the nation. After the rally, there was a march through Washington DC starting in front of the White House, and progressed with stops in front of the office of Lockheed Martin (US military complex who helped develop F-16's for Israeli military), Caterpillar corporation (who provided bulldozers to Israel to use against Palestinian civilians), the Washington Post Headquarters (wrote biased articles about the Gaza event and refused to cover any opposing demonstrations or events), and HayAdams Hotel (President Elect Obama's current residence until the move to the oval office). About ten thousand participants from all across the nation came and joined this march across central Washington DC.

Photos taken during the protests that erupted when the National Socialist Movement (Neo-Nazis) marched to the Phoenix Federal building. The NSM was there to protest a federal judge's decision to 'water down' the SB1070 immigration legislation. I've never seen a more disgusting group of people assembled in one place, but it was their right to have their march and to say what they wanted to say. Fortunately the Phoenix Police Department was there to keep things under control. Pepper spray was used but that was only when the anarchists got too close. Quite a day I can tell you.
A small group of protestors walked up Valencia and then down Mission. They were kettled and arrested around midnight. They were shouty, but non-violent and not damaging property.

Today, more than 150 people protested at Chevron’s annual shareholder meeting, joining together a unique group of union members, shareholders and community leaders. Every year, Chevron faces opposition at its shareholder meeting, but today’s protest drew a larger and more diverse crowd galvanized by the oil giant’s year of legal problems, oil spills and fines for reckless business practices.
Chevron is facing more than $40 billion in actual and potential fines: $22 billion for oil spills off the coast of Brazil, $18 billion for oil contamination in Ecuador, $3 million for gas explosions off the coast of Nigeria, and $27 million for tax-dodging in Richmond.
The protest included representatives of the United Steelworkers, including workers at Chevron’s Richmond refinery; the lead plaintiffs in the Ecuador case; leaders from Nigeria and Angola; local advocates from Richmond; and members of the True Cost of Chevron Network.

On March 16, 2013, I photographed this sleeping toddler outside Lewisham Hospital. Despite heavy rain, hundreds of protestors gathered outside the hospital to support the ongoing "Save Lewisham Hospital" campaign at an event entitled, "Born in Lewisham," in which those born in Lewisham Hospital were encouraged to come along and share their stories and photos.
The campaign was established in October 2012, when Matthew Kershaw, an NHS Special Administrator appointed to deal with the financial problems of a neighbouring trust, the South London Healthcare Trust (based in Greenwich, Bexley and Bromley), recommended that Lewisham Hospital -- which is not part of the SLHT and has no financial problems -- should merge with one of the SLHT's hospitals, the Queen Elizabeth in Woolwich, and should have its A&E Department closed and other frontline services -- including maternity -- severely downgraded. In Lewisham, this would mean tens of thousands of emergencies having to be dealt with elsewhere, as well as 90 percent of Lewisham's mothers having to give birth outside the borough.
The "Born in Lewisham" event on March 16 followed two huge marches, in November and January, and although Jeremy Hunt, the health secretary, approved Matthew Kershaw's plans on January 31, judicial reviews have been launched by Lewisham Council and the Save Lewisham Hospital campaign, on the basis that the Special Administrator exceeded his remit when he included Lewisham in his proposals.

I was stunned, overwhelmed, and astonished by the protest at Shahbag. Within minutes I was engulfed by the spirit, energy, and excitement of the crowd there, immediately drawn in the public's desire to get "proper" justice. The environment was phenomenal--there were people from all backgrounds, ages, and religions--and the air was electric with the slogans, optimism, and hopefulness of the crowd.
The country has finally united against an enemy that has burdened it with corruption and hatred even before it was born.
G20 summit, june 25, university ave - police checking ahead for 'exploding' daisies - or something...some kind of tactical safety measure to justify them gearing up a few blocks earlier on College St and arresting a deaf man during the peaceful march on Friday...
The Swedish Democrats held a political rally in Handen today. As per usual there was also a street protest by a few left wing parties, including the Socialist Justice Party. Fifteen police vehicles and fifty police officers surrounded Poseidon's Square during the rally. I decided to stay and document the event.

Marches all over the United States, and later around the World, were triggered by the murder of George Floyd by police officer Darek Chauvin.
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during an arrest for allegedly using a counterfeit bill.Derek Chauvin, a white police officer, knelt on Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down, begging for his life and repeatedly saying "I can't breathe".A second and third officer further restrained Floyd while a fourth prevented bystanders from intervening.[4][5]:6:24 During the final three minutes Floyd was motionless and had no pulse[6][7] while Chauvin ignored onlookers' pleas to remove his knee, which he did not do until medics told him to.The following day, after videos made by witnesses and security cameras became public,all four officers were fired. Two autopsies found Floyd's death to be a homicide.[12][13] Chauvin was initially charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter, to which was later added second-degree murder; the three other officers were charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder.
June 22, 1996. A dozen members of a self-anointed and unwelcome KKK group came to Ann Arbor to hold a thumb-in-your-eye rally at City Hall. A protest group, the National Women's Rights Organizations Coalition (NWROC) formed to oppose them. After the rage had been mounting for awhile, this simpleminded redneck wandered up, wearing a Confederate-flag T-shirt and drinking a bottle of Lipton tea. The crowd tore off after him, he fell, and the mob pounced, striking for blood. Keshia Thomas, horrified, threw herself over him to stave off the angry blows. Moments earlier, Thomas, 18, had been in the NWROC group, shouting at the KKK. It was a heroic and passionate moment in a crazy afternoon, well captured in these photographs.
In a story in People Magazine, Thomas was quoted as saying, "You don't beat a man up because he doesn't believe the same things you do. He's still somebody's child."
The guy never dropped his tea bottle . . . .
