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.”

29.6.15 - Over a thousand people of more than 80 organizations coming from all across Europe took part in a demonstration outside the UNHRC HQ in Place de la Nation in Geneva. The protesters called for the exposure and condemnation of the UNHRC's hypocrisy and anti-Israel bias toward Israel.
The election for a seat on the North Carolina Supreme Court was very close, but was won by Allison Riggs by a margin of about 800 votes. After the announcement, challenger Jefferson Griffin and his legal team disputed over 60,000 votes claiming administrative errors. It’s become a flashpoint in the state that is still smoldering. The election was in early November and the issue is still not resolved. Many of the protesters in these pictures were notified of administrative issues with their votes. A hyphen in a voter’s last name was a common “administrative issue” that caused a vote to be cancelled. The recount of votes without the 60,000 votes will certainly put Jefferson Griffon on the bench of the NC Supreme Court.

MANHATTAN, NY.
Several hundred protesters gathered near the famous bull sculpture in New York's financial district to protest the proposed $700 billion dollar bailout of the financial sector. The bailout involves the federal government buying up billions of dollars in worthless mortgages and mortgage-backed securities (little pieces of different mortgages stuck together to make bonds).
The protesters offered their junk to the federal government. Because if Uncle Sam will buy Wall Street's bad investments, why not yours?

We were fortunate enough to be in Berlin in '89 and I suppose fortunate enough not to be in Cairo tonight but it did remind us of the buzz (I don't know how else to describe it) of people with freedom in their grasp. This isn't a political view, it's just an appreciation of human spirit. Let's hope for a peaceful outcome.
For the second day, demonstrations continue in front of the US Embassy in Cairo, stirred by a movie mocking Islam and Prophet Muhammad. Late Wed, clashes erupted when the Central Security Forces "CSF" used tear gas in an attempt to disperse the protesters, bothparties exchanged throwing rocks/ stones at one another until the early morning of Thursday.

The only San Francisco arrest in a weekend of peaceful protests and rallies across the City happened out of nowhere, 10 feet from me. It took everyone by surprise, protesters and police alike, and was over as soon as it started.
Full 5 minute story here.
On November the 17th 2015 more than 25.000 - 50.000 people (according to the police respectively the organisers) gathered in the center of Athens to rembember the Polytechnic uprising in 1973. The route was like the last years: From the Polytechneion, along the parliament to the US embassy in order to remember that the Greek military junta was tolerated and supported by the United States.
This year, acoording to newspaper reports, there were only minor clashes between protesters and the police, which happend in the nighttime.
7000 policemen were in action.
At the end of demonstration was a little SIRIZA block, which was verbaly attacked by bystanders. After the demonstration the communist party KKE had their own seperated demonstration.
