BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes from articles that mention protest
I was blown away by the size and the enthusiasm of the protest. The signs being carried were about love and rights, and chants rang out until everyone was hoarse. I really believe we, as a group, made our voices and beliefs clear

My favorite sign at the protest was 'None are equal until all are equal,' something that those in support of Proposition 8 have chosen to ignore. They have effectively decided that marriage is a privilege, even in the legal sense, and see no problem in deciding who can have it and who can't

A ton of people were there, and a ton of diverse people at that. Gays, straights, blacks, white, transpeople - you name it, they were at the protest. The unity among this diverse group of people was very powerful.

A security company contracted by Leviev was accused this year by a local human-rights monitor of participating in practices of 'humiliation, whipping, torture, sexual abuse, and, in some cases, assassinations.'

It's truly a small world for Leviev, as his companies are simultaneously involved in destroying communities in Palestine, Africa, and New York City. We will protest this outrageous celebration of worldwide human rights abuses and economic catastrophe by Leviev and New York's elites, because it ridicules the losses of homes, jobs and security being inflicted on working people worldwide.

Please join me in a protest for justice, for changes to be made in the foster care and adoption system, and for holding abusers accountable and the system accountable for their actions. Too many children have been placed in harm's way too many times, and it needs to stop. We can make a difference if we stand together.
