Protesting Arizona Senate Bill 1070 by marching down Congress Ave. after rallying the the Texas State Capitol in Austin, Texas. Arizona SB 1070 was a legislative act that was the broadest & strictest anti-illegal immigration measure in recent U.S. history. It received national and international attention and has spurred considerable controversy. The day before the law was to take effect, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction that blocked the law's most controversial provisions. In June 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the case Arizona v. United States, upholding the provision requiring immigration status checks during law enforcement stops but striking down three other provisions as violations of the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution.

Lunchtime protests in support of rape victims
02 June 2006 17:16
Lunchtime demonstrations were organised around the country today to support victims of child abuse and rape.
The participants included the child victim of Mr A, the middle-aged man who was released from jail last Tuesday after the law under which he was jailed was ruled unconstitutional.
Demonstrations took place in Dublin, Galway, Castlebar, Waterford, Wexford, Kilkenny, Tralee, Ennis and Limerick.

Gardaí estimate that 500 people protested outside Leinster House in Dublin city centre. The organisers, however, say about 1,000 took part.
The Rape Crisis Network of Ireland asked each protestor to bring a white flower - symbolising the need to protect the innocence of children.
It asked people who could not get to these venues to bring white flowers to their own area's central courthouse or church.
The network said the ten-minute protest was the idea of a Dublin mother, Monica Roe from Cabinteely.
Ms Roe describes herself as 'mad with anger' at the Government, which she accuses of signalling to all victims that they should not bother reporting child abuse.
The network is also asking participants in Monday's Ladies Mini-Marathon in Dublin to wear a white armband or white flower in support of victims or survivors in what it calls 'these difficult days and into the future'.
We went protesting last Friday, because they want to merge the four smaller faculties, including Archaeology, with the big Faculty of Arts, which will mean the quality of our education will suffer greatly... Of course we can't let this happen :P

Anti-Gadaafi protestors at the Libyan embassy - London UK 20.02.2011
On a day in which the central hospital in Benghazi has confirmed over 200 deaths and 900+ casualties in that city alone at the hands of Gadaafi's hired central African mercenaries as he tries to brutally crush the Libyan people's calls for freedom by, it seems, drowning the whole country in blood, a large and spirited crowd of demonstrators gathered outside the Libyan embassy in London's Knightsbridge.
During the next few hours the size of the crowd grew considerably. Many passing motorists honked their horns in support as they passed the demonstration, and the International media were well represented.
Earlier on a breakaway group managed to cross the busy road and managed to get right outside the embassy until the police moved them back to the other side. Later in the day a large group of about fifty men suddenly appeared, waving the black flags of Hizb ut-Tahrir. The crowd were generally not very pleased to see them, and the police penned them in behind a wall of crush barriers, separated from the main demonstration. A couple of them managed to infiltrate the crowd and a couple of their hard-line banners went up. The police discussed snatching them out at the first sign of trouble.
Speaking to some Libyans who had just had word from Tripoli that "The tide continues to turn in the protestor's favour, with some army units allying themselves with the freedom movement. They have no stomach for turning their weapons on their own countrymen, which is why Gadaafi is shipping in mercenary thugs from Africa to do his filthy work for him, and by tonight Tripoli will be in chaos, if you know what I mean..." It was also confirmed that Gadaafi's sister and her children had fled the country and had turned up in Germany last night.
A much larger demonstration is planned for 27/02/2011 unless they topple Gadaafi and his murderous cohorts before then. The world watches with a mixture of horror and bated breath to see if they can achieve their aim.

PETA protesters started to show up at Kent's ShoWare Center two hours before the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus Sept. 3 to protest the animal performances at the circus. The protesters held signs up and handed out fliers with information alleging the circus' mistreatment of the animals.

On election day these folks were out protesting Referendum 74 that would allow for marriage equality in Washington State. They didn't realize that they were in uber liberal Seattle, which fancies itself as the San Francisco of the north.
It passed.

Press Release – ItsOurFuture.org.nz
The lead-up to Saturdays protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government cant ignore, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.Nationwide day of action against TPPA: “Ignore us at your peril” government warned
“The lead-up to Saturday’s protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government can’t ignore”, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.
A video shows young activists publicising Saturday’s nationwide protests with footage from Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, and Nelson.
Action in the 22 centres starts at 10am in Raglan and many of the larger centre marches begin at 1pm, including Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
“People have been incredibly creative”, Miller said. “In Christchurch a giant plain-packaged cigarette packet will be marching in the crowd, while Auckland will be led by an enormous Trojan Horse, locked in a tug-of-war between major commercial interests and activist communities.”
“Around the country everyday kiwis will be photographed for a virtual campaign with signs saying ‘I am a ___________ and I say #TPPANoDeal.’ Already this campaign has been very popular.”
“Trade minister Tim Groser needs to recognise that people don’t buy the ‘trust me’ line. They want to be listened to when they say they don’t want the TPPA. And they deserve to be listened to.”

The RCMP temporarily blocked a group of Occupy Ottawa protesters from joining the Air Canada flight attendants protest on the hill.
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.
