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.

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.”

Now, aside from their right to protest, I’m neither for or against the protesters as there are so many different issues being represented. Some I definitely support, and some I don’t. I’m not a photojournalist per se, but whenever I can, I like to get out there and see events for myself. So much is mis-represented by the media today. I need to see for my self and let the photos speak for themselves.
The folks out there come from all walks of life, with a myriad of issues. They were friendly, willing to talk; and were excited to be a part of something, and have a platform to be heard. Some were more serious then others. My photos show no violence, because I didn’t see violence. Not to say all the protesters are peaceful, I cannot say that either. I only covered one block. The group I photographed were camped in a small park a few blocks from Wall St itself.
The images in this blog are a sample of those protesters.
Unrest in Lüchow-Dannenberg. A kind of traditional latern march ends as a blockade on tracks.

The protest takes place shortly after the governments unpopular decision to extend the period of operation for german nuclear power plants for an additional decade.

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.

Tral killing: Grieving family and a restless town after its youth killed in army ‘encounter’
Annual protest in Hebron for the reopening of Shuhada Street (aparthied street). Shuhada Street lies at the centre of the ancient city of Hebron. For many years it was a busy shopping precinct, full of life. Today it is deserted. When the radical Israeli settler Baruch Goldstein shot dead 29 Palestinian worshippers at Hebron's Ibrahimi mosque in 1994, the Israeli army feared reprisals against three nearby Israeli settlements. It closed off the street to Palestinian vehicles and later Shuhada Street was blocked even for most Palestinian pedestrians.Most of the people who once lived here have left their homes. All the shops have closed, and Palestinians living in the area have to climb over roofs to reach their neighbours. In addition, they suffer violence and harrassment by settlers and soldiers, who often neglect to intervene to protect them from settler violence.

Protester holding Egyptian flag in Tahrir Square, Jan 25th. Sign says "Gamal, leave with your father".
The public was prevented from attending the executive board meeting between the DOH and the NYC ACC. These meetings are supposed to be held publicly (the ACC is funded by our tax dollars), but the ACC refused to move the meeting to a bigger room at 125 Worth St. Only 7 people from the protest were allowed inside the building. The rest of us were left to gather outside with our signs and our voices! Those picture are merely a few of us. We had at least 50 people outside the DOH.
