A group of peaceful protesters in Bournemouth today, protesting about the "hostile design" of bars that had been put across the middle of some of the benches in the town, to deter the homeless. It looks like it has been a success because it says on the local news website that they are going to be removed.

This protest took place in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida June 5th and 6th 2005. Although the protest was inspired by George W. Bush attending the OAS meeting taking place in South Florida, the protesters had many different agendas; some of the protesters were even there in support of Bush.
The Organization of American States (OAS), or, as it is known in the three other official languages, (OEA), is an international organization, headquartered in Washington, D.C., United States of America. Its members are the thirty-five independent states of the Americas.
The notion of closer hemispheric union in the American continent was first put forward by Simón Bolívar ("The Liberator") who, at the 1826 Congress of Panama, proposed creating a league of American republics, with a common military, a mutual defense pact, and a supranational parliamentary assembly. This meeting was attended by representatives of Gran Colombia (comprising the modern-day nations of Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela), Peru, the United Provinces of Central America, and Mexico, but the grandly titled "Treaty of Union, League, and Perpetual Confederation" was ultimately only ratified by Gran Colombia. Bolívar's dream soon foundered with civil war in Gran Colombia, the disintegration of Central America, and the emergence of national rather than continental outlooks in the newly independent American republics.

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.

Protest against the Israeli government’s decision not to open an investigation into the killings of 13 Arab civilians (12 of them citizens of Israel) in October 2000 by the Israeli police.
A committe known as the Or Committe (Or means "light" in Hebrew) was set up to investigate the killings. Its recommendations were rejected by Israel in the end. The sign is a play on the word Or and darkness.

Violence started to break out in the Circus, which was triggered when a Police van passed through the crowd. People (mainly Anarchists) started lighting bonfire, throwing quite literally everything (placards, sticks, ice-cream cones, etc.) at the police van and the police that were surrounding (and protecting) the van. Everyone was chanting at that moment

Protesting Arizona Senate Bill 1070 by marching down Congress Ave. after rallying the the Texas State Capitol in Austin, Texas. Arizona SB 1070 was a legislative act that was the broadest & strictest anti-illegal immigration measure in recent U.S. history. It received national and international attention and has spurred considerable controversy. The day before the law was to take effect, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction that blocked the law's most controversial provisions. In June 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the case Arizona v. United States, upholding the provision requiring immigration status checks during law enforcement stops but striking down three other provisions as violations of the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution.

Lunchtime protests in support of rape victims
02 June 2006 17:16
Lunchtime demonstrations were organised around the country today to support victims of child abuse and rape.
The participants included the child victim of Mr A, the middle-aged man who was released from jail last Tuesday after the law under which he was jailed was ruled unconstitutional.
Demonstrations took place in Dublin, Galway, Castlebar, Waterford, Wexford, Kilkenny, Tralee, Ennis and Limerick.

Gardaí estimate that 500 people protested outside Leinster House in Dublin city centre. The organisers, however, say about 1,000 took part.
The Rape Crisis Network of Ireland asked each protestor to bring a white flower - symbolising the need to protect the innocence of children.
It asked people who could not get to these venues to bring white flowers to their own area's central courthouse or church.
The network said the ten-minute protest was the idea of a Dublin mother, Monica Roe from Cabinteely.
Ms Roe describes herself as 'mad with anger' at the Government, which she accuses of signalling to all victims that they should not bother reporting child abuse.
The network is also asking participants in Monday's Ladies Mini-Marathon in Dublin to wear a white armband or white flower in support of victims or survivors in what it calls 'these difficult days and into the future'.
We went protesting last Friday, because they want to merge the four smaller faculties, including Archaeology, with the big Faculty of Arts, which will mean the quality of our education will suffer greatly... Of course we can't let this happen :P

Manchester Pride failed to release a charity figure on Friday 8th Oct 2013, as had been promised. The amount is believed to be less than £29,000. Maybe just £20,000. With an income of almost £1 million and some 38,000 tickets bought this year, this is unacceptable.
There were other issues this year, such as village workers being excluded from the main arena. The general public and gay village businesses have little say in how the event is run. The board of trustees is unaccountable. There is a lack of honesty and transparency in the way this registered charity operates and in the information it gives the public.
It's time for the LGBT community and gay village to reclaim this event.
Join us at 12:15 outside Manchester Pride HQ for a peaceful but noisy protest. Later moving to outside the town hall.
Whatever your complaint about the current Pride, put it on a banner or placard.
Absolutely everyone welcome, whichever Facebook groups you do or don't support! Some of the gay village business people have indicated they will take part.

Taipower employees from Taipei County at a protest in front of Taipower Building, which is right across from my office. I stopped by on my way into work. These protests seem to be fairly usual these days -- a few months ago it was a nuclear waste protest, I believe this one was over employee rights and benefits.
