Photos from a protest after the Southeast Climate Action Camp diirect action at Bank of America's offices in Asheville, North Carolina. August 13th 2007.
We went to the protest in Hollywood. Great speakers and a huge crowd. Hopefully it made an impact and inspired some more people to go out to the protest in D.C. on saturday.
There is always action in front of City Hall, as far as I can remember. So much that nobody pays any attention anymore, except for a couple of passers-by with a camera (myself included). This time, a protest to exercise the right to walk the streets in the nude.
Part of the protest that took place when Lenzie Nursing Home for the elderly was being closed by Greater Glasgow Health Board. Despite a petition with over 20,000 names the closure went ahead. The people were promised a new state of the art hospital in its place to be built through the Carewell Trust. Needless to say this never took place. The hospital was closed in 2000 and lay derelict for some time. The prime hospital and gardens land were then sold off and is now a new private housing estate. The Lenzie hospital had been built originally by Lenzie philantophist Beatrice Clugston who raised the money to build both it and Broomhill Home through charity events and bazaars. Sad to see that both hospitals have now been demolished and the land sold off to building companies. Wonder what she'd have thought of that.

I was close to this guy and he was kinda blocking my view of the speaker(shown right, out of focus), and he looked interesting with the bandana and all, so I got a nice closeup portrait of him haha.
This was at the Sacramento Capitol building today, where at least a thousand students from across the state rallied together to fight against the budget cuts education has received and expects to receive.
I'm not supposed to be very political but.. an interesting point I learned today: California spends more on prisoners and our prison system than they do on students and the educational system.
I'll post more shots from the protest tomorrow. Photo class early in the morning.
(and this is all I did today, big protest, then went home...)

A strong youth generation protest for the maximum punishment of the convicted war-criminals of 1971's Liberation-War in Bangladesh.
The Shahbag protest of 2013 began on February 5, 2013 in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with protesters demanding capital punishment for Abdul Quader Mollah and all others accused war criminals of the 1971 Bangladeshi Liberation War. Abdul Quader Mollah was charged with abetting the Pakistani army, genocide, rape and mass murder of Bangladeshis during the Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971. On February 5, 2013, The International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) of Bangladesh sentenced Abdul Quader Mollah to life in prison. Within hours of the verdict, mass discontent broke out in Bangladesh where people were expecting capital punishment for Mollah. The bloggers and online activists gave a voice to the public opinion and called for a mass demonstration at the Shahbag intersection in central Dhaka. Thousands of people spontaneously joined the protest and the demonstration culminated into the 2013 Shahbag movement.
Aqui estaba marchando. El furor, la gente, el calor... Esta fue la toma que logre alcanzar en medio del desepero. No habia espacio ni para respirar.
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.

A little light entertainment when the march came to a temporary standstill on Cambie Bridge, there were too many of us..
An estimated 5,000 people turned out for the march to protest the Kinder Morgan pipeline, which will bring crude oil and refined petroleum from the oil sands in Alberta to Vancouver, British Columbia, presumably to be shipped to China. This will increase tanker traffic in and is a danger to our already threatened marine life in the Inside Passage, where two recent spills in two months have already occurred this year. An estimated 5,000 protesters joined the march, from the City Hall to the downtown library.

In Den Haag demonstreerden zo'n 3000 mensen tegen de bezuinigingen in de culturele sector.
Het protest was georganiseerd door studenten van het Haags conservatorium
This has got to be my favourite shot of the day. Such a powerful image with the corporate man protesting the protesters.
Not exactly sure what these guys are protesting about; there seems to be a number of issues in the mix, some local, some of wider applicability. I suspect there's a fair sweep of libertarianism in their approach, which I'm generally against, but they appear to despise Klaus Schwab and the WEF and that's cool with me. They at least have a right to have their voice heard.
Protesting the new black format and "followers" vs contacts. No posts on Flickr except these protests until Monday. A PROTEST.
On January 14, 2012, hundreds of people defied the rain and took to the streets of Beirut to protest against rape.
Protesters marched from Sanayeh to Riad El Solh square in Downtown Beirut, where security officers cordoned off the area to prevent them from reaching the Lebanese Parliament.
The march was organized by the Beirut-based feminist collective Nasawiya.

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.
