They didn't seem evil, so I went to talk to them, rather than yell at them, which is what everybody else did. Also: they were from Vancouver, WA, which makes a certain amount of sense.

Copts and their supporters (including both secular and Islamic people) protest against violent sectarian attacks, which SCAF was doing nothing about.
Thousands of protesters marched through downtown Chicago on Sunday in one of the city's largest demonstrations in years, airing grievances about war, climate change and a wide range of other complaints as world leaders assembled for a NATO summit.
The protest, which for months had stirred worries about violence in the streets, drew together a broad assortment of participants, including peace activists joining with war veterans and people more focused on economic inequality.
Hundreds of protesters gathered late Sunday night near the Art Institute of Chicago as first lady Michelle Obama hosted a dinner for spouses of NATO leaders inside. At least 100 Chicago police officers in riot gear were also at the scene.
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?
Nigeria: March to Berlin, 10.12.2020 [Human Rights Day]
unter dem Motto: Restructure Nigeria Now! Ending Police Brutality, Human Rights Violations, Corruption in Nigeria & Colonial Continuity in Africa.
Im Rahmen des „Nigeria: March to Berlin“ fand am 10. Dezember eine etwa 2-stündige Kundgebung mit rund 50 Menschen vor der Nigerianischen Botschaft in Berlin statt (Neue-Jacob-Str. 4).
Die Teilnehmer:innen der Kundgebung (und der Demonstrationen davor und danach) forderten ein sofortiges Ende der für ihre brutale Gewalt berüchtigten Polizeieinheiten SARS, ein Ende der Korruption und der Menschrechtsverletzungen sowie der Umweltzerstörungen im Niger-Delta durch den Ölkonzern Shell.
Die Aktivist:innen aus ganz Deutschland warteten vergeblich auf den nigerianischen Botschafter, dem sie ihre Resolution der End SARS-Bewegung überreichen wollten. Nur zwei Botschaftsangehörige erschienen, obwohl es vorab eine Zusage des Botschafters gab, die Petition persönlich im Empfang zu nehmen. So wurden die Forderungen in mehreren Redebeiträgen per Megafon an die Botschaft Nigerias übermittelt.
End SARS oder ist eine Bewegung in Nigeria, die schon 2017 begann und gegen Polizeigewalt in Nigeria, ausgehend von der Polizeieinheit Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), demonstriert.
Im Oktober 2020 erlebte die Bewegung einen Aufschwung. Auslöser war ein Video auf Twitter, welches zeigt, wie die SARS-Einheit einen nigerianischen Bürger erschießt. Das war Auslöser zur großen zweiten Welle der End SARS Bewegung in Nigeria. Tausende Nigerianer folgten den Aufrufen unter dem Motto über Social Media und protestierten gegen die Polizeigewalt der Special Anti-Robbery Squad. Es kam bei den Protesten zu heftigen Konflikten mit der Polizei. Viele Demonstranten wurden verhaftet.
Die nigerianische Regierung kam unter dem Druck der Demonstranten und der weltweiten Schlagzeilen zu dem Entschluss, die Einheit aufzulösen. Jedoch gehen die Proteste aktuell weiter. Die Demonstrant:innen fordern Folgendes:
• die umgehende Freilassung aller verhafteten Demonstranten
• eine Entschädigung für alle Opfer der SARS-Einheit
• eine unabhängige Kommission, die die SARS-Einheit untersucht und Straftaten der SARS Einheit verfolgt
• eine psychologische Untersuchung und Umschulung der SARS-Einheit und angemessenen Lohn für die nigerianische Polizei

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.”
