Yesterday on Leicester Square. It was kind of fun to see them dance to music including the infamous Rickroll song....
I directly realized what they were protesting (and getting people to sign a petition for) but as you can see there were quite a few faces in the crowd that just thought these were some goofballs dancing in the street.
Hundreds of people gathered in Nairn to protest against the proposed ship to ship oil transfers that the Cromarty Port Authority want to start just a few miles from our beaches. Huge environmental threat

40th 'anniversary' of ALEC, the innocuous sounding American Legislative Executive Council at the Palmer House hotel in downtown Chicago on August 8th, 2013.
For love of greed.....they:
influence state governments and members of the national government, some of whom are also members of ALEC in favor of an extreme right-wing, pro-corporation, anti-popular agenda like....
cutting social security, extending sequester cuts that hurt the poor, elderly, minority, disadvantaged, and voiceless ( like Meals on Wheels for home-bound seniors, and Head Start programs for children ), promoting climate change denial, enacting stand your ground laws, and encouraging union-busting tactics like ending collective bargaining and 'right-to-work' laws, And, lest we forget, working for the passage of new voter ID laws, which would effectively disenfranchise, the poor, minorities, and the elderly.
In this year alone the group or its members, have sponsored 71 bills protecting corporations from being accountable for anyone's injury or death, 139 bills for the privatization of public education, and 104 bills to diminish or eliminate collective bargaining.
ALEC is mostly funded by the billionaire Koch brothers who also fund/funded the Tea Party.According to the Koch brothers the minimum wage should also be eliminated because " the minimum wage prevents people from starting their own businesses." So let's do away with the minimum wage and all so-called 'entitlement programs'. What they neglect to mention of course is that they - and there are quite a few others like them both in politics and out - are exceeding joyful at accepting government subsidies for their businesses that run into the millions of dollars.

From Friday 30 August - Monday 2 September 2019 the Extinction Rebellion Protest took place in Manchester city centre.
GMP, with the support of its agency partners, facilitated the space they occupied over the four day period to ensure the safety of both the Extinction Rebellion protesters, but also that of people living, working and visiting the city.
The protesters have now left the Deansgate area, and there is no protest activity taking place in the city centre. All roads have now been reopened and further updates can be found on @GMPCityCentre and @OfficialTFGM.
Whilst GMP is extremely experienced in dealing with large-scale events and protests, this has presented some unique challenges.
We rigorously planned and prepared for this protest in conjunction with all relevant partners, including Manchester City Council, the local authorities of Greater Manchester, Transport for Greater Manchester, British Transport Police and communities and businesses via Cityco within the city centre.
We engaged with the protest group in advance so that we could best understand their intentions.
This enabled us to plan and prepare our response and facilitate a safe protest, resulting in no arrests.
Whilst we respect everyone’s right to peaceful protest, we ask that any protestors in Manchester also respect the right of others to go about their daily business with minimal disruption, and to liaise with the local authorities in advance.
To contact Greater Manchester Police for a less urgent matter or make a report online you can also visit www.gmp.police.uk.
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give evidence.

Global protest of agricultural-menace Monsanto comes to Winnipeg.
March 11, 2012 – Winnipeg, Manitoba. On Friday, March 16th at 1pm, concerned citizens of Winnipeg will protest outside the Monsanto head office located in the Smart Park, University of Manitoba. Issues include insufficiently tested genetically-engineered foods, global food monopoly, terminator seeds and aggressive legal actions against individual farmers and small seed companies.
“There isn't a better way to show our opposition to such damaging policies they perpetuate than to protest outside their doors.” Occupy Monsanto Winnipeg statement.
Global opposition to Monanto has included class-action lawsuits filed against Monsanto by farmers, an international campaign “Millions Against Monsanto” and protests worldwide. In the aftermath of the earthquake that left the country of Haiti devastated, over ten thousand Haitian peasant farmers marched against Monsanto to protest the “donation” of hybrid seeds to replace the countries depleted stock. Hybrid seeds are engineered to be sterile after first harvest to stop farmers from saving and reusing seed, thus creating total dependence on the seed company.
Monsanto is the world’s largest biotech agricultural seed corporation based in the United States. Started in 1901 as an industrial chemical company, Monsanto has been notorious for producing such deadly compounds as Agent Orange, PCBs, DDT and more recently Roundup. Monsanto’s product Roundup, an herbicide with the active ingredient glyphosate, has been proven to cause birth defects. In recent years, crops have become resistant to Roundup and in some cases, multiple herbicides are now being used. Monsanto produces 90% of the world’s genetically-engineered seeds. Monsanto’s inadequate testing and failure to voluntarily label foods “GMO” has led to many countries, especially in the European Union, to ban all GMO foods.

Protesting 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.

School Strike and Climate Change Protest in Edinburgh, 20th September 2019
Thousands of young people took part in school strikes across Scotland and around the world to demand urgent action on climate change. These strikes were the latest in a series of strikes started by 16-year-old Swedish schoolgirl Greta Thunberg. Organisers said 20,000 people joined the demonstration in Edinburgh, with thousands also gathering in Glasgow. The march in Edinburgh started at The Meadows, before making its way to the Scottish Parliament.

We see a picture of "El Che" with the following inscription: "El nuevo libertador" (The new liberator)
In Venezuela we call "El Libertador" (The liberator) to Simon Bolivar, he was a Venezuelan guy that fought the spanish and liberate most of the south american countries.
Chavez (our "president") and his followers are giving too much attention to this communist symbols, like "El Che" that's why in a possible near future, he will replace our true liberator.
