33rd & Keswick. From the event description:
"Curfew protests in Penn North are being responded to by arrests and a militarized police force. We expect that in Hampden - a predominantly and historically white neighborhood - the response will be very different. This action aims to highlight the difference in how the city chooses to respond to the violation of curfew in a predominantly white neighborhood compared to the neighborhood of Penn North - primarily a community of color. The differing response will highlight anti-Black racism, an institutionalized practice of the police force and government.
This is a SILENT protest so that we can point people to the voices of those most devastated by white supremacy in Baltimore. Fliers will be available to pass out to passersby and media to explain. We'll be silent to the media, but engaging with those in the neighborhood. The idea here is not be the voice heard in the media, but point the story back to those most affected."

In 2012, confronted by an abusive husband who she had a protective order against, Marissa Alexander went to her room, got out a gun, and fired one shot into the wall to scare her husband off. The mother of three was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in prison. In light of the Trayvon Martin killing, many have drawn comparisons between Marissa Alexander, and George Zimmerman, who was acquitted of all charges. Many have suggested that Florida's "Stand your ground" law is so poorly written (in my opinion it is), that it encourages people carrying to kill a person instead of threatening that person off.
A relatively small Oakland protest on a hot summer day. It is about 8km from downtown Oakland to Fruitvale, with many drawing comparisons between Trayvon Martin and Oscar Grant.

Thousands joined the march in Melbourne on Friday April 10, shutting down the centre of the city for hours.
On 1 May 2023, Palestine Action organised outside UAV Tactical Systems, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems UK, to protest against the company's alleged manufacturing and supply of armed drones to the Israeli military. The “siege” was stationed outside the factory and in a nearby woodland, with many protestors setting up tents and intending to stay until the factory closed for good.
The Gazette reporters were on the ground for Day One.
Hundreds of people marched through the centre of Melbourne in protest against Israel's latest atrocities in Gaza.
Protest in the ethnically cleansed city of Prijedor. Marchers walk with backpacks with the names and ages of children killed in the genocide. The protest was granted on the condition they didn't say the word "genocide". In the center of the town the backpacks were set down to spell out "GENOCID?".

I took this at a protest march earlier today by the local Chinese community, which was called: "Proud of Olympics, Proud of China, No Separation, No Distortion" - interestingly, this was billed as a "non-political" show of support.
Hmmm...."no separation"? Alex Salmond might suggest that was more than a little political.
It was a very peaceful march (other than some heated words and finger pointing at one point) and the marchers (largely students) were very pleasant.
As for keeping politics out of sport (specifically the Olympics), I'm afraid that ship sailed long ago. Let's review, we've had: Hitler using the 1936 games as a show of Aryan supremacy (or at least...so he hoped until Jesse Owens came along); Black power salutes at the 1968 Mexico games; An American boycott of the 1980 Moscow games; A Russion boycott of the 1984 Los Angeles games...and those are just the ones that leap to mind. Wasn't there an "interesting" water polo match between Russia and Hungary...just after Russia had invaded? If politics isn't involved, why aren't the athletes competing as individuals...rather than on behalf of their nation?
China also didn't seem to take the view that politics should be kept out of sport, when they boycotted the 1954 games, because Taiwan participated.
As for the "Olympic ideal"...oh puhleeeze! It used to be about amateurs taking part for the love of the sport (albeit with one eye on a possible professional career afterwards). Now it's about making vast sums of cash...and (in many cases) figuring out how to pass a drugs test...when you are actually taking performance enhancing drugs.
The students today were exercising their right to freedom of speech. Personally, I don't agree with their arguments in this case, but I absolutely support their right to make them peacefully.
They complained about "media bias". Do they also complain about media bias in China? Is it bias they object to...or simply bias that doesn't favour the position of the Chinese government?
Would they support the right of pro-independence Tibetans to organise and protest peacefully? If not, why not?
The students today exercised a basic human right. China was granted the Olympics on the basis of making promises to improve human rights and to allow freedom of movement for the international press. They seem to have forgotten that part of the deal.

A protest of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, on a key intersection (US 50) in South Lake Tahoe, on a windy, snowy, May day. More people showed up to join the protest in just the few minutes I was there, and the passing traffic was overwhelming supportive in their honks and shouts.
Apologies for the quality of the photos, I had to shoot them quickly.

Encountered this silent protest-demonstration by chance....as body-painted participants made their way through crowded streets expressing their beliefs and raising conciousness on current issues like education, pro-life, corruption, gas pipeline projects and environmental issues among others. It was after 5:00 pm on a beautiful day so I had a very nice light to work with, no flash used.
A protest march marks Juneteenth — a day to honor Black freedom and Black resistance after four centuries of slavery in the United States. It’s a sacred moment across communities to proclaim in one voice: Black Lives Matter.
On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a black man, was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. During an arrest, Derek Chauvin, a white American police officer, kept his knee on the side of Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down. During the last three minutes, Floyd was motionless. After Floyd's death, demonstrations and protests against racism and police brutality were held across the US and the world, despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the movement and gathering restrictions put in place by governments to prevent the spread of the coronavirus
