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.”

I bought a MacBook Pro, and am now using Adobe Lightroom. I notice that Flickr doesn't display the images with the same contrast and saturation that Lightroom does. In fact, Flickr is showing an overall lighter and less contrasty image than what is displayed on my computer regardless of the program. If anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening, let me know. I process in the sRGB color space, which is giving me the best image on Flickr so far.

(these pics aren't recent, but i'm just now getting around to uploading them)

Thousands of people gathered at Philadelphia City Hall on May 1st to observe International Workers Day.
Some people were just there to listen to Democratic Party leader Bernie Sanders but they also heard "Free Palestine" chants as he spoke and saw Palestine flags from numerous people, including from a loud Revolutionary Mayday Contingent.
After Sanders ended his speech, the remaining Mayday participants -still a thousand strong - took the streets around city hall and down N. Broad Street. The march was led by large contingents of Unite Herre and AFSCME members. The Revolutionary Mayday Contingent was most energetic, growing to well over a hundred people in size as it chanted continuously on Palestine, against capitalism and imperialism and other popular issues.
At N. Broad and Vine St., police blocked the entrances to the Vine St. Expressway, I676, where 75 participants sat down in the middle of the street, in front of a "Workers, not billionaires" banner. The whole group of UAW, Unite Here, a couple City Council members, and other protestors were zip-tied, arrested and taken away by cops.
The Revolutionary Mayday Contingent's flier:
•All workers have a right to organize and a union!
•Migrant workers and refugees are welcome here!
•We condemn US/Israeli Indigenous displacement and genocide in Palestine!
•We oppose white supremacy, national chauvinism, homo/transphobia, misogyny, & ableism.
•We support freedom/self-determination for all oppressed nations & peoples.
•End capitalism. Save the planet!
•Down with U.S. imperialism. No more wars!
•We are revolutionaries fighting for a future with a right to food, housing, healthcare, education, transportation and other necessities of life.

Multiple protests, some autonomous and others organized by Chicago activist groups, converged to march through the loop for hours protesting against ICE. They were confronted by Chicago police, who brutalized and arrested a number of individuals, but did not appear to have the numbers necessary to control the situation or make mass arrests.

Part of Tate Britain's Don McCullin retrospective (February to May 2019)
This exhibition showcases some of the most impactful photographs captured over the last 60 years. It includes many of his iconic war photographs – including images from Vietnam, Northern Ireland and more recently Syria. But it also focuses on the work he did at home in England, recording scenes of poverty and working class life in London’s East End and the industrial north, as well as meditative landscapes of his beloved Somerset, where he lives.
Sir Don McCullin was born in 1935 and grew up in a deprived area of north London. He got his first break when a newspaper published his photograph of friends who were in a local gang. From the 1960s he forged a career as probably the UK’s foremost war photographer, primarily working for the Sunday Times Magazine. His unforgettable and sometimes harrowing images are accompanied in the show with his brutally honest commentaries.

Thousands of protesters marched through downtown Chicago on Sunday in one of the city's largest demonstrations in years, airing grievances about war, climate change and a wide range of other complaints as world leaders assembled for a NATO summit.
The protest, which for months had stirred worries about violence in the streets, drew together a broad assortment of participants, including peace activists joining with war veterans and people more focused on economic inequality.
Hundreds of protesters gathered late Sunday night near the Art Institute of Chicago as first lady Michelle Obama hosted a dinner for spouses of NATO leaders inside. At least 100 Chicago police officers in riot gear were also at the scene.
