There is a small group of people who are protesting the State of Texas removing 400-something kids from the FLDS polygamist compound. They are in front of the Delta Center where the Utah Jazz are playing the Houston Rockets in the NBA Playoffs. Rockets-> Houston-> Texas-> CPS removing children from homes. So the protest is a bit removed from the intended target. It was still fun to watch them.
On May 23rd, 2019, demonstrators and leafleters gathered at McDonald’s annual shareholders’ meeting to encourage the company to use its power for good and end the horrific cruelty endured by chickens killed for its menu items. This year’s shareholders’ meeting was held inside a hotel at Dallas Fort Worth Airport, and for the first time away from its Illinois headquarters, possibly a reaction from our large protest in Chicago at the same event last year.
With more demonstrators than shareholders on site, McDonald’s should know advocates are committed to ending #McChickenCruelty. Aside from organizing the protest, we also took out full-page newspaper ads in the Dallas Morning News and the Chicago Tribune, as well as commissioned mobile billboards, geo-targeted ads at the entire airport and social media actions.
Didn't see much G20 protesting in our little corner of the City but these 2 kept us amused for a few minutes. They were shouting slogans through cones although I was inside so couldn't hear what they were saying. When no one rushed over to arrest them they got bored and wandered off.
Practically I wasn't really effected by the protests. I caught the early train in the morning as a precaution and dressed down (not that I dress that "up" normally) but I don't think I really needed to do either. This evening there was some big protest on Bishopsgate but I don't normally walk along there on the way home and my usual route was uneffected.
The main way I have been effected is that I've become really fearful of getting my camera out in the City this week. You may notice that my shots so far this have been taken outside of London and today's was taken from the safety of my desk. I have probably taken a photo in London nearly every day for the last six months without fear but quite frankly this week I just daren't and that makes me sad.
Everyday in 2009 my brother and I will each be posting a new photo on our blog:

I asked them why the masks, and they said that protestors had been followed, harrassed and threatened.

Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action, Mother's Day 2008
Opponents to the protest arrived about 30 minutes after the demonstration started.
Counter protesters rallied to the cause of defense. The messages on their vehicles read: "Proud of my Dad!" and "Proud to be defending the U.S.A.".
Anti-war / anti-nuclear weapons activists converged on the Naval Submarine Base Kitsap-Bangor on Saturday May 10th, 2008 in a Mothers Day commemorative action. Participant's engaged in a traditional vigil and nonviolent civil resistance direct action to oppose the weapons of mass destruction as they exist in their offensive capacity on the base. The offensive capacity of the weapons is in contravention of several legally binding international agreements. Unfortunately, the United States Government is in flagrant violation of these treaties. The abnegation of international law by the Government of the United States of America imperils the world. Decision-makers behave in ways that are Machiavellian. They employ the Hobbesian model of power-politics where "might makes right" and the "ends justify the means", which is then applied to international discourse. However, there is a better way.
By respecting international laws and agreements, the United States can help to promote and create an international environment of equity and respect.
One of the problems with the trident nuclear missile programs is that in addition to their purported role as a well-intentioned defense, these missiles also serve as a basic international bully mechanism. The trident missile system deployed via Bangor submarine base is estimated to be capable of wreaking a several months' long nuclear winter over much of the globe.
Instead of operating in the realm of power-politics where the application, or the threat of application, of brute force hangs over international proceedings: I challenge the Government and the People of the USA to pursue a better way. I challenge the Gov't and People of the United States of America (including myself) to work for a foreign policy that truly values human rights, human dignity, human health, environmental health, fairness and equity, truth, honesty, respectfulness (for ourselves individually, for each other, and for the Earth). The means create the ends.

On 29 June, a second protest taking place at BBC Scotland headquarters in Glasgow, where the pro-Union Better Together campaign were given access to film an advertisement, looks set to attract a substantial number of those who remain dissatisfied with BBC coverage of the Scottish independence referendum. There’s a simmering anger that the licence fee designed by founder John Reith to escape corporate influence is instead funding a media institution which has become the mouthpiece of the establishment.

Protesters outside the Mosque during the afternoon.
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.

Israeli policemen tend to another officer injured from a stone thrown by protesters during clashes on Land Day after Friday prayers outside Damascus Gate in Jerusalem's Old City March 30, 2012. Israeli security forces fired rubber bullets, tear gas and stun grenades to break up groups of Palestinian stone-throwers on Friday as annual Land Day rallies turned violent. Police said they had made five arrests at Damascus Gate. Land Day commemorates the killing by security forces of six Arabs in 1976 during protests against government plans to confiscate land in northern Israel's Galilee region.
