About 300 Egypt solidarity protesters gathered in Boston, Mass., USA, to protest against Egyptian dictator Mubarak-one of many protests around the world today 2/5/11.
This afternoon I decided to go out and take some photos. Just as I was about to ride out of the city, I looked behind me and saw a large group of people protesting about something. I decided to abandon my initial project for the day and follow the group instead.
From the pamphlets being distributed by the protesters, and word of mouth, I determined that this was essentially a protest about an eviction. There is a house in the centre of Leiden that, for the past 40 years, has been occupied by squatters. During the 40 years they have been there, the building became somewhat of a cultural centre. Just recently, the local Council decided to evict them: and today they peacefully expressed their objection to the Council's proposal.
I started following the protest from the intersection of the Hooigracht and Nieuwe Rijn, and followed them down Nieuwe Rijn to the Herengracht. From the Herengracht, they turned left along Oude Rijn and into the Haarlemmerstraat. From the Haarlemmerstraat, they travelled up to the Prinsessekade and onto the Breestraat. While travelling down the Breestraat, they stopped and made a point outside the Town Hall, before making their way back to Hooglandse Kerkgracht and the building in question.
Needless to say, I'm glad that I charged my camera and decided to head out... otherwise I would have missed this completely!
Comments are, of course, welcomed!
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.

Sydney March To Close Down All Slaughterhouses - June 14, 2014
Photographed for Animal Liberation NSW
Despite rain and cold, around 50 protesters gathered by the Octavius Catto statue by Philadelphia City Hall on Dec. 9, for a rally and march marking the 43rd anniversary of the state’s unjust and illegal incarceration of Pennsylvania political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal.
Several speakers addressed that the struggle to free Mumia and other political prisoners coincides with the upcoming battle of progressive activists against the reactionary administration of Donald Trump, which threatens more state terrorism.
The demonstration marched a short distance to the offices of Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner where speakers called on the DA to do the right thing for Mumia by granting him long-denied freedom. They addressed the racist police, judicial and prosecutorial misconduct that resulted in Mumia’s incarceration, despite ample evidence of his innocence, and the unjust ruling in May 2023 by Common Pleas Court Judge Lucretia Clemons who refused to consider new evidence found in the case.
Protesters then took to the streets to march to 13th and Locust streets where Mumia was arrested and brutalized on Dec. 9, 1981, and unjustly accused of the murder of Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner.
