WalMart Protestors were arrested in Los Angeles. Protestors were seeking higher wages, better jobs, and the right to unionize.
Protests continued for the 4th straight day against Moms for Liberty. Activists chanted, held signs, sang, yelled at M4L participants, heard speakers, and danced in unity.
Organizers know we need to build opposition now against fascism's rise before fascists gain power, when it will be too late.
A group of Romanians protested the use of cyanide in gold mining operations in Romania. For several hours on a brisk spring day, they gathered in front of mine company investor John Paulson, hedge fund manager, investor, and held up banners and passed out flyers.
The protest was part of a larger international movement against the Romanian government’s controversial decision to allow a Canadian firm to build Europe’s largest opencast gold mine.
Environmentalists and activists are warning that the mine, if opened, would lead to the destruction of four mountain peaks and three villages. Terrible as that would be, their greatest fear is the planned use of cyanide, a highly toxic substance, that is required for the mining process—12,000 tons of it each year.
The fear is well grounded in recent history. In 2000, a cyanide spill near the town of Baia Mare, Romania, occurred when a dam containing toxic mining waste burst, releasing 100 tons of cyanide-contaminated waste water into the Lapus, the Somes, as well as the Tisza and Danube rivers.
Considered the worst environmental disaster since the Chernobyl nuclear leak in 1986, the poisoning of the river Tisza resulted in the destruction of the river's entire ecosystem in a matter of days, everything from microbes to otters, according to the BBC.
People protest before the start of a public meeting with the South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) Hearing Board to consider a proposed abatement order requiring Southern California Gas Co. to take various steps to contain and monitor a massive gas leak in Porter Ranch, on January 23, 2016 in Woodland Hills, California. An ongoing methane gas leak at a facility in Southern California — what’s been called “the nation’s biggest environmental disaster since the BP oil spill” — has officially been declared an emergency by Governor Jerry Brown. Natural gas, or methane, first started leaking from Southern California Gas Co.’s Aliso Canyon storage facility on October 23 last year. Some 2,300 homes have been evacuated in nearby Porter Ranch, a neighborhood of Los Angeles, after residents began experiencing nosebleeds, rashes, headaches and other serious health impacts due to the gas leak and the sulfur-like smell that is blanketing their community.

International Conference Center, COP 17, Durban, South Africa, 9th December, 2011
In solidarity with the millions of people already feeling the impacts of climate change, hundreds of people protested in the halls of the UN Climate Talks this afternoon to demand that nations not sign a “death sentence” in Durban. The march filled the hall outside of the main negotiating room in Durban just as the afternoon round of talks were scheduled to begin. Standing side-by-side with delegates from some of the world’s most vulnerable countries, civil society representatives sang traditional South African freedom songs and chanted slogans like, “Listen to the People, Not the Polluters.”
Protesters gathered on the Haigis Mall of the University of Massachusetts to mourn the death of New Jersey state police officer, Philip Lamonoco, and protest the lecture, “The Great Western Massachusetts Sedition Trial: 20 years later” that took place at the Isenberg School of Management on Thursday, November 12, 2009. The lecture, originally planned to include Ray Luc Levasseur, former leader of the United Freedom Front, was forced to continue without Levasseur because of the U.S. parole board’s decision to not allow him to cross state lines as part of his parole restrictions.
