On June 25, 2010 30,000 unhappy people converged on Allen Gardens to protest the G20 meetings being held here. We marched from there West on College St towards Queen's Park where we had expected to express our dissatisfaction with the injustices that the leaders of the G20 have consistently inflicted on the world's population and to demand that they abandon their elitist pursuit of a New World Order. Unfortunately the police had other ideas and herded us into a cul-de-sac where they corralled us and kept us prisoner for over 20 minutes before forcing us back to Allen Gardens. This was only the first of many illegal tactics that the police used in an attempt to instigate violence so that they could justify the 1.2 Billion Dollar cost of security that Canadian taxpayers had to shell out. fortunately, in spite of the many abuses of our constitutional right and the preventin of our continuation of our approve plans to march to Queen's Park and hold a rally there, the protest remained peaceful and on this first day of action, the police were thwarted in all attempts to instigate a riot.

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.”

Members of Chicago's south side communities led by Father Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina's parish held a protest and press conference outside Fifth Third Bank 222 S. Riverside Plaza Wednesday in downtown Chicago.
They contend that the bank is acting in a discriminatory fashion by using jail-like entrances to their branch locations in the city's black and brown communities on the south side. One lady said she felt 'like a criminal' upon entering the bank. A disabled woman in a wheelchair was trapped between the doors.
These kind of entrances do not exist in other branches located on the north side and even downtown Chicago. Some of these branches have been robbed multiple times too.
According to Father Pfleger, Fifth Third Bank should either remove these barrier-like installations from its south side locations or install them at all their branches. The group intends to continue to press forward on this issue. If they have to they will resort to civil disobedience in order to effect change.

Homeless group sleeps outside the Dáil
by Ali Bracken
Some 30 members of the homeless community slept outside Dáil Éireann last night in protest over what they say is Government inaction on the housing crisis.
Mark Grehan, of organisers Street Smart, said they had arranged last night's sleep-out to welcome politicians back from their holidays this morning.
"This action is being taken to send a clear signal to the Government . . . This Government can no longer ignore this issue as we will bring it to their doorsteps. Failure to act will result in more deaths on our streets, deaths caused by the indifference of our Government," he said.
The demonstration follows the death of three people sleeping rough in Dublin three weeks ago.
