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.
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'.
Boston police arrest a Korean War veteran at a Veteran's Day service outside City Hall. About 100 people were taken into custody for disrupting the ceremony.

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.

On election day these folks were out protesting Referendum 74 that would allow for marriage equality in Washington State. They didn't realize that they were in uber liberal Seattle, which fancies itself as the San Francisco of the north.

Press Release – ItsOurFuture.org.nz
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.”
