Berkeley protests against police brutality in response to Ferguson and Eric Garner decision - 12/6/2014
On MLK Jr. Day, Monday, January 20 at 5:00 PM, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy, over a dozen progressive community organizations from across Philadelphia descended on City Hall at the Catto Statue as a show of solidarity with the struggle for Black liberation and self-determination. Supporting organizations noted the inauguration of Donald Trump also occurred on that day and took a stand against the white supremacist, imperialist and misogynist system that he is the latest representative of. The Philadelphia Anti-Imperialist Alliance calls for a world transformation that does not rely on oppression and imperialism.
At City Hall, the crowd of over 250 people braved frigid temperatures to hear speakers from Workers World Party, Philadelphia Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression and the
Students for Justice in Palestine Coalition.
The march paused at 11th and Market to listen to speakers from the Save Chinatown Coalition and Health Care Workers for Palestine.
The march ended at 5th and Market, where Anakbayan, Friends of Congo and Industrial Workers of the World also spoke.
The assassination of Dr. King in 1968 as he organized sanitation workers in Memphis, Tennessee, was a naked act of state violence aimed at preventing his revolutionary work of uniting poor and working people in support of Black liberation. His lifetime fight against what he called the “triple evils” of U.S. racism, economic exploitation, and militarism is one we continue today. Rather than recite quotes in an empty attempt to show solidarity, we call upon all to join together against inhumane immigration policies, in support of health care as a human right, call out those who want to undermine Black history, call out those who erode voting rights, demand the resources we need to solve our climate crisis and end U.S. imperialism that makes us all less safe.
We are more than a year into the brutal U.S./Israeli-led genocide in Palestine and hundreds of years into the existence of the U.S. empire that Dr. King understood to be the “greatest purveyor of violence in the world today.” Regardless of which party sits in the white people’s house in Washington DC., we understand that local and international repression and violence will continue unabated unless we unite and organize.
The struggle against imperialism must continue until all colonized and oppressed people are free! Until all political prisoners are at home! Until all occupied lands–from Lenapehoking and Palestine to Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo to Puerto Rico, Haiti to the Philippines–are returned! Until all people have access to the basic human rights of housing, food, clean water, free healthcare and education!

Bangkok, Thailand, 2010
From Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Thai_political_protests): A prolonged series of political protests occurred in Bangkok, Thailand in 2010 from March to May against the Democrat Party-led government. The protests were organized by the National United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD) (known as "Red-Shirts"). The UDD called for Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to dissolve parliament and hold elections earlier than the end of term elections scheduled in 2012. The UDD demanded that the government stand down, and negotiations failed to set an election date. The protests escalated into prolonged violent confrontations between the protesters and the military, and attempts to negotiate a ceasefire failed. More than 80 civilians and 6 soldiers were killed, and more than 2,100 injured by the time the military successfully cracked down on the protesters on 19 May.
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.
