Hundreds took part in a joyful protest in Dublin in solidarity with the Europe Summer protests in Spain. This is a flavour of the Dublin solidarity protest.
This is the Manifesto of the Spanish Revolution- just watch the video!
We are ordinary people. We are like you: people, who get up every morning to study, work or find a job, people who have family and friends. People, who work hard every day to provide a better future for those around us.
Some of us consider ourselves progressive, others conservative. Some of us are believers, some not. Some of us have clearly defined ideologies, others are apolitical, but we are all concerned and angry about the political, economic, and social outlook which we see around us: corruption among politicians, businessmen, bankers, leaving us helpless, without a voice.
This situation has become normal, a daily suffering, without hope. But if we join forces, we can change it. It’s time to change things, time to build a better society together. Therefore, we strongly argue that:

Neighbourhoods: belgravia spain westminster
… people kept shouting last night outside the Spanish embassy in Belgravia. Since Wednesday 18th large crowds of mainly spaniards living in London are following a call to demonstrate and to express anger about the “political, economic, and social outlook which we see around us: corruption among politicians, businessmen, bankers, leaving us helpless, without voice.”
On Friday 20th around 300 people showed up at Chesham Place for a ‘pots & pans’ protest, coinciding with hundreds of ‘cacerolazo’ protests called thorughout Spain as part of the ‘Spanish Revolution’ currently taking place all over the country. After the protest, a public assembly took place where, amongst other things, people debated the practicalities of setting up camp till Sunday 22nd. As a result, around 50 people spent the night outside the embassy, and there are plans for further demonstrations today Saturday and Tomorrow Sunday [See Real Democracy London blog]
Latest: Protest set to continue this week. Daily popular assembly takes place from 7 to 9pm.

2,600 Activists Arrested in US Protests
by Bill Quigley / May 24th, 2011 Since President Obama was inaugurated, there have been over two thousand six hundred arrests of activists protesting in the US. Research shows over 670 people have been arrested in protests inside the US already in 2011, over 1290 were arrested in 2010, and 665 arrested in 2009. These figures are certainly underestimate the number actually arrested as arrests in US protests are rarely covered by the mainstream media outlets which focus so intently on arrests of protestors in other countries.
Arrests at protest have been increasing each year since 2009. Those arrested include people protesting US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, Guantanamo, strip mining, home foreclosures, nuclear weapons, immigration policies, police brutality, mistreatment of hotel workers, budget cutbacks, Blackwater, the mistreatment of Bradley Manning, and right wing efforts to cut back collective bargaining.

toma la calle..Siguen Sol y Barcelona! Occupations to continue
AcampadaSol in Madrid votes in Assembly to continue the occupation, at least a week more. Barcelona and other camps already decided top keep going.
El movimiento 15-M no desmantelará sus campamentos esta noche como estaba previsto. La asamblea de la concentración de la madrileña Puerta del Sol ha decidido permanecer, de momento, una semana más con la protesta en demanda de una democracia real. El próximo sábado se votará en los barrios y el próximo domingo volverán a decidir su futuro.
toma la calle….a casa, o a por el cambio?
Nadie sabe. Que pasará con el movimiento ‘Toma la Calle’ ya que acaban las elecciones.
La policia militarizado esperan con ganas el orden de ‘limpiar’ la calle.
Los jovenes han aprovechado las elecciones falsas y deshonestas para ocupar un trozo de libertad.
Los reaccionarios esperan manipular las asambleas libres para enviar tod*s a casa.
Los ‘indignados’ no tienen experiencia en la lucha callejera, y para algunos engañados luchar
en si contradice su ‘pacifismo de clase media’.
La cosa tiene mala pinta.
Pero nadie ha esperado lo increible que ha pasado, y que rapido hemos aprendido junt*s.
Esperamos que mañana seguiumos con aún más fuerza! ……………. Salud y suerte!
