There were a lot of monkeys around on Saturday, for two different marches in the center of Oxford. One was against the animal testing that goes on at research labs here (and the building of a new lab specifically for that purpose) and another was in favour of it.
Two people turned up for the 'in favour' demonstration.
Everyone here was quite excited about it all, but I just found myself missing the G8 stuff from last summer in Scotland.
Marcha del 20 de Noviembre en la Ciudad de México con motivo de los 43 estudiantes desaparecidos en Ayotzinapa
November 20th protest in México City for de 43 missing students in Ayotzinapa
We were fortunate enough to be in Berlin in '89 and I suppose fortunate enough not to be in Cairo tonight but it did remind us of the buzz (I don't know how else to describe it) of people with freedom in their grasp. This isn't a political view, it's just an appreciation of human spirit. Let's hope for a peaceful outcome.
Protestors took to the street Monday night after it was reported that Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, who was involved in the fatal Aug. shooting of teenager Michael Brown, would not receive an indictment from a St. Louis County grand jury.

Policiais atacaram os estudantes que protestavam ontem (06/03/2013) em Cuiabá. Tudo que os estudantes queriam era o direito de ter um teto sob o qual viver enquanto cursam a graduação.

RALLY AGAINST FANNIE MAE AND FREDDIE MAC IN NYC SEPT. 12TH, 2012
Hundreds from the Northeast gathered in NYC as part of a national movement rising up against mortgage giants Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac. Participants are demanding principal reduction and that President Obama use his power of recess appointment to get rid of Ed DeMarco, the acting director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the conservator for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Protesters also are demanding that Fannie & Freddie:
–STOP FORECLOSING AND REDUCE PRINCIPAL: modify loans to real value
–STOP EVICTING: accept rent from former owners and tenants
–STOP SELLING VACANT HOMES TO INVESTORS: sell to original owners or non-profits at real value for affordable housing
–PUT PEOPLE BEFORE PROFIT: you were bailed out with our tax $
Led by courageous people who are fighting Fannie & Freddie’s foreclosure and eviction procedures, protests were also planned in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Atlanta at the regional Fannie/Freddie offices in those communities.

It was the first organised protest I had been to and it was a much bigger crowd than I was expecting. There wa very little protection from the sun and it was 30.5ºC (87ºF).
I was standing at the back of the crowd so I had the ability to move around with all my camera gear. Hence, it was difficult to hear what each speaker was saying because there were only some small speakers setup at the front of the speaking platform. This is something future protests should be mindful of; if you have a message to share, make sure it can be heard (through the A/V system). From what I could hear, the messages were similar to what has been expressed on social media. Something I had not heard said prior to this protest was: If you have privilege, use it. I think many of us do have privileges and I will do my best to use mine to lift those in oppression. Photography and video are one way I know how to do that.
Most people were wearing masks due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In general, that makes me frustrated because I don't recognise anybody and not seeing someone's mouth (or someone seeing mine) inhibits the emotion they're expressing. I can be smiling ear-to-ear with sunglasses on and the person I'm looking at has a seemingly stern and dismissive appearance on their face. I can't wait for the masks to be done with.
Thursday 13/08 people in all the country went to the streets to protest against the government.

The protestors claimed an "unhealthy bias" existed in favour of the pro-Union Better Together campaign.

The protest was calling for an urgent resolution on a range of post-incident issues including the rehousing of survivors locally, the release of funds to cover welfare and loss costs as well as for an immediate commission to investigate the recent £10m refurbishment project and to look at similar buildings in the borough to identify fire, health and safety risks and put in place immediate control measures.

Protesters gathered in opposition to Donald Trumps' EPA nominee, Scott Pruitt, Attorney General of Oklahoma. Scott Pruitt is ordered by an Oklahoma City court to publicly release his emails with dirty energy companies, a member of his own party has also said she will vote against his appointment as head of the Environmental Protection Agency. Pruitt’s actions have already made it clear he wants to dismantle the EPA – as Oklahoma attorney general he sued the agency at least 14 times. His allegiance is clearly with the dirty energy giants who have supported him for years.
