Trans-Pennine March for Jobs from Sheffield to Blackpool passes through Keighley. Press photograph taken on Sunday 11th October 1981. 100 members of the People's Campaign for Jobs marched into Keighley and joined a rally in Town Hall Square. There were cries of "Maggie, Maggie, Maggie, out, out, out!"
The marchers were given tea by St. Anne's Justice and Peace Group followed by a service at St. Anne's Roman Catholic Church. There was a civic reception from the Lord Mayor of Bradford, Councillor Danny Coughlin, and free entertainment in the evening at the Victoria Hotel. Marchers spent the night in private homes or at Keighley Central Youth Club.
In July 2021, Keighley and District Local History Society acquired an extensive collection of photograph negatives taken by the Keighley News. Groups of negatives were held in small wallets with the date and basic labelling written on the wallet. This image is developed from one of those negatives. The image was processed by Tim Neal in September 2021.

Protesters gathered on the Haigis Mall of the University of Massachusetts to mourn the death of New Jersey state police officer, Philip Lamonoco, and protest the lecture, “The Great Western Massachusetts Sedition Trial: 20 years later” that took place at the Isenberg School of Management on Thursday, November 12, 2009. The lecture, originally planned to include Ray Luc Levasseur, former leader of the United Freedom Front, was forced to continue without Levasseur because of the U.S. parole board’s decision to not allow him to cross state lines as part of his parole restrictions.

Like many left-wing protests (including some I've participated in), this one seems to have been a bit unfocused. The sign reads:
Autonomy for Tibet
Free the Jena 6
Free Troy Anthony Davis and Kenneth Foster
Innocent Men on Death Row
Abolish Death Penalty

© 01/11/2011 - Le cimetière de l'université, appelé aussi et surtout cimetière "protestant", rue du Magasin à Poudre, il est parvenu à résister au temps et aux promoteurs immobiliers. En terme de superficie, il est difficile de faire plus petit : une allée centrale et deux allées latérales constituent l’essentiel de son étendue. Beaucoup de stèles sont devenues illisibles mais celles qui ne le sont pas rappellent l’importante communauté protestante qui anima le commerce de la ville, mais également une partie de la diaspora britannique qui venait s’installer outre-Manche. On y trouve la tombe de George Brummell, le “roi des Dandys”, initiateur du costume de l'homme moderne, le costume que l'on porte avec une cravate.

A group of Romanians protested the use of cyanide in gold mining operations in Romania. For several hours on a brisk spring day, they gathered in front of mine company investor John Paulson, hedge fund manager, investor, and held up banners and passed out flyers.
The protest was part of a larger international movement against the Romanian government’s controversial decision to allow a Canadian firm to build Europe’s largest opencast gold mine.
Environmentalists and activists are warning that the mine, if opened, would lead to the destruction of four mountain peaks and three villages. Terrible as that would be, their greatest fear is the planned use of cyanide, a highly toxic substance, that is required for the mining process—12,000 tons of it each year.
The fear is well grounded in recent history. In 2000, a cyanide spill near the town of Baia Mare, Romania, occurred when a dam containing toxic mining waste burst, releasing 100 tons of cyanide-contaminated waste water into the Lapus, the Somes, as well as the Tisza and Danube rivers.
Considered the worst environmental disaster since the Chernobyl nuclear leak in 1986, the poisoning of the river Tisza resulted in the destruction of the river's entire ecosystem in a matter of days, everything from microbes to otters, according to the BBC.
