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.”

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.
This was taken at a protest I went to today. Rather than focus on the event as a whole, I decided to look at the individual protesters.

In late January, hundreds of students rallied at East High School in response to a planned protest by the hate group Westboro Baptist Church (WBC never bother to show up). Sorting through some photos I shot for work, these are some frames I hadn't used and thought might work in black-and-white.

Protesters break through police lines.
Stop the Islamisation of Europe called for a demonstration outside Harrow Mosque in North West London to coincide with evening prayers on Friday September 11th. The protest was also being promoted by the English Defence League who have repeatedly clashed with Muslims and Anti-fascists in recent months. A counter demonstration was called by Unite Against Fascism.
About 1000 counter demonstrators gathered to protect the Mosque during the afternoon. Police ordered Stop the Islamisation of Europe to call of the protest to prevent violence.
A small group (less than 20) of English Defence League protesters were chased from the area by the counter demonstrators and were escorted away by the Police.
Frustrated elements of the crowd then turned on the Police resulting in a few skirmishes with bottles, stones and firecrackers being thrown. Other sections of the protesters eventually restrained these elements and by about 7.30 in the evening the crowd had started to disperse.
There were 10 arrests reported.

On July 28, 1917, in New York City, a silent parade was staged in protest of the East St. Louis, Illinois, massacre of July 2, 1917, as well as the recent lynchings in Waco, Texas, and Memphis, Tennessee. The march was organized by the NAACP, churchmen and other civic leaders to protest the violent events against African Americans around the country. The United States had just entered World War I and many were questioning the use of African-American soldiers to fight in a war that President Woodrow Wilson had described as necessary to the survival of democracy abroad, especially at a time when these same men and their families were denied their basic rights here in the United States. President Wilson continually dismissed the requests of African-American leadership to address the problem of lynching and was considered by many to be one of the most racist presidents ever to occupy the White House. The lynching and murdering of blacks was on the rise. And in the wartime climate many African Americans were migrating to the North, both to escape racial oppression in the South and to secure the plentiful jobs in the munitions centers and factories in the Northern urban centers.
The riots in East St. Louis began when whites, angry because African Americans were employed by a factory holding government contracts, went on a rampage. Over $400,000 worth of property was destroyed. At least 40 African Americans were killed. Men, women and children were beaten, stabbed, hanged and burned. Nearly 6,000 African Americans were driven from their homes.
Across the country, people were aghast at the violence. On July 28, 8,000 African Americans, primarily from Harlem, marched silently down Fifth Avenue. They were dressed in their finest clothes and marched to the sound of muffled drums. They carried picket signs while thousands of New Yorkers watched from the sidewalks. The children marched as well as the adults. Some of the banners read: "Mother, do lynchers go to heaven?" "Mr. President, why not make America safe for democracy?" "Thou shalt not kill." "Pray for the Lady Macbeths of East St. Louis." "Give us a Chance to Live."
The New York Age reported on the march:
They marched without uttering one word or making a single gesticulation and protested in respectful silence against the reign of mob law, segregation, "Jim Crowism" and many other indignities to which the race is unnecessarily subjected in the United States. (1917)
Lynching was never declared a felony by the judicial system of the United States.
