The fight to end native logging
Anthony Albanese is taking a big electoral risk by continuing Howard-era native forest logging agreements. By Bob Brown.
"We live in a plutocracy. Big business prevails. Yet the destruction of native forests is stirring the public and will be a vote-changing issue at the next election, along with the cascading tragedy of global warming."
"Instead of protected koalas, the voters got protected logging corporations and a resumption of logging in key koala habitats with in-the-forest defenders facing arrest."
"Here’s how forest offsets work..."

Civil Disobedience in a Climate and Biodiversity Crisis
"Ultimately, peaceful political protest should be addressed by politicians. The current government has decided, by making disruption of ‘everyday life’ a criminal act, that it is a matter not of politics but for the police and criminal law. This will have serious implications for society, and for freedom of speech, whether or not you believe it is the right approach."

While the world leaders happily embrace the racism and genocidal policies of Israel under his leadership. Millions of Israelis protest against changes in judicial process that make Jewish citizens of Israel to be treated under the same apartheid system Palestinians are subjected to in the past 70 years.

FYI that the #Vancouver mayor, #KenSim is a #PierrePollivere supporter. Despite Sim's message today condemning the protests, he supports the party that would take protections away from queer folks. He's also a big supporter of FIFA and the World Cup. Members of his cabinet have also been "liking" transphobic tweets.
He's a performative ally and should be treated as such.
Protesters demand that #Japan save 1000s of #trees by revising a design plan for a popular #Tokyo park
Story by Mari Yamaguchi, September 17, 2023
"#Protesters in Tokyo formed a #HumanChain Sunday to demand the government save thousands of trees by revising its plan to redevelop a popular downtown park.
"Demonstrators, many wearing green shirts and holding up signs saying, 'Save Jingu Gaien,' demanded the Education Ministry take action even though the landowner is one of its agencies.
"#Tokyo Gov. Yuriko Koike approved the plan in February, a move that would allow #developers — real estate company Mitsui Fudosan, Meiji Jingu shrine, Itochu Corp. and the ministry-affiliate Japan Sports Council — to build a pair of 200-meter (650-foot) #skyscrapers and an 80-meter (260-foot) tower.
"That would require cutting down nearly 3,000 trees at #JinguGaien, one of Tokyo's most historic and beloved #green areas. The plan would also raze and rebuild a historic baseball stadium where Babe Ruth played and change a rugby field to one with artificial grass.
"Also at stake are the well-known 150 #gingko trees lining a century-old promenade built to commemorate Emperor Meiji, the great-grandfather of Emperor Naruhito. Critics and environmental activists say the gingko trees will be under threat from any construction right next to them.
"'I just had to come and do something to stop tree-cutting that could start this month,' said Nahoko Shirakawa, holding a handmade sign. 'I cannot just sit around and see the demise of 100-year-old gingko trees.'
"Rochelle Kopp, a movement leader who operates a Tokyo management consulting company, said the ministry should protect the Gaien as a #NaturalCulturalHeritage site. She said the ministry also should designate the area as a scenic site as a way of protecting it."

#Iran passes stricter #headscarf law days after #protest anniversary
20/09/2023 | 16:30 PM
By Associated Press Reporters
"Iran’s parliament has approved a Bill to impose heavier penalties on women who refuse to wear the mandatory Islamic headscarf in public and those who support them.
"The move came just days after the anniversary of the death of #MahsaAmini, a 22-year-old woman who had been detained by the so-called morality #police for violating the country’s dress code.
"Her death in custody ignited months of #protests in which many called for the overthrow of Iran’s theocracy.
"The 70-item Bill extends punishments to business owners who serve women not wearing the mandatory headscarf, known as the #hijab, and #activists who organise against it. Violators could face up to 10 years in prison if the offence occurs in an organised way.
"The Bill, which was approved by 152 politicians in Iran’s 290-seat parliament, requires ratification by the Guardian Council, a clerical body that serves as constitutional watchdog. It would take effect for a preliminary period of three years.
"The demonstrations sparked by Ms Amini’s death on September 16, 2022, died down early this year following a heavy crackdown on dissent in which more than 500 protesters were killed and around 22,000 detained.
"But many women continued to flaunt the rules on wearing the hijab, prompting a new campaign to enforce them over the summer.
"Iran’s clerical rulers view the hijab law as a key pillar of the Islamic Republic and blamed the protests on Western nations, without providing evidence.
"The protesters said they were motivated by anger over the dress code as well as what they see as the corruption and poor governance of the country’s ruling clerics."
Well I guess today is a good day to remind trans people that Moxxi's got their back. She will always bark away anti-trans bigots and she's got a big scary bark.

#US States Take Aim at Protesters’ Rights
Right to Peaceful Assembly at Risk
by Jonathan Pedneault, February 16, 2021
"#Peaceful #protests are protected by the #UnitedStates Constitution’s First Amendment as well as #international #HumanRights law. But a legislative assault aimed at eroding these protections is underway in several state legislatures.
"It’s nothing new. Various states have long-tried to curtail the right to #protest. They do so by legislating wide definitions of what constitutes an 'unlawful assembly' or a 'riot' as well as increasing punishments. They also allow police to use catch-all public offenses, such as #trespassing, obstructing traffic, or disrupting the peace, as a pretext for ordering dispersals, using force, and making arrests. Finally, they make it easier for #corporations and others to bring lawsuits against #protest organizers.
"While proportionate restrictions on the right of peaceful assembly, like creating buffer zones around abortion clinics to ensure access, may be necessary, the use of catch-all offenses against peaceful #demonstrators or the imposition of increased penalties to deter assemblies are not.
"At a time of large mobilizations across the US, attempts by states to deter and impose criminal penalties on peaceful protesters should be stopped.
"According to the US Protest Law Tracker, created by the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law, there are currently 51 bills under consideration in 24 state legislatures, including as many as 10 in #Oklahoma, that they warn would threaten the right to assemble peacefully.
"Among the proposed laws are nine, including three in Oklahoma, that the Tracker reports would provide civil and/or criminal immunity for drivers injuring or killing protesters unlawfully disrupting traffic and one stand-your-ground bill in #NewHampshire that would allow deadly force against protesters 'likely' to use 'any' degree of unlawful force during a riot.
"Other bills would increase penalties for participating in unlawful protests, something that happens automatically in many jurisdictions once someone marches without a permit, or for committing an offense – including jaywalking or trespassing – while in an unlawful assembly.
"International human rights law protects the right of peaceful assembly and requires authorities at all levels to facilitate such assemblies and avoid unnecessary or disproportionate restrictions on them. The mere act of planning or participating in a protest should not be criminalized. Authorities are also required to protect people participating in such assemblies – bills that encourage or allow violence against protesters are inconsistent with those obligations, and states should abandon them."

‘Highway to hell’: Dutch climate activist fights sedition charge
Another #political #report from the country called #sweden. The #descent into full on #fascism is an agonizing and gut wrenching reality. A #gestapo inspired law that could force all citizens to report any suspected #illegal #migrants to #authorities is about to be approved by the #government. The conversation in media is not about the validity or moral wrongness of such a law instead it focuses on how it could be implemented. Big-ish #manifestations and #protests are happening, but nothing at the scale where #popularPower could challenge the government and stop them from doing this. Earlier this month a professor and his family publicly left the country becuase of the blatant #racism that is spewed in the news and in the media at large, sweden is #notSafe. As a very minor actor in social struggles, I feel like I stand on the sidelines robbed of all agency. I feel so horrible about everything. #fuckSweden #noBorder #depressing #fascism

The summer is coming to an end. It is time for us to look back over the last few months which have been dominated by political protests across the world.

Human rights, the environment and a crack down on protests.
"The Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) says the number of climate-related protests and non-violent direct actions is escalating as public frustration over the lack of government action on climate change grows."
"At the same time, many states around the country are introducing harsh new penalties for protesters... "
"The appropriate response from government is not to crack down on protests. Rather, it's to deal with that very serious issue of climate change," EDO's director of legal strategy, Elaine Johnson
"We're seeing a really alarming crackdown on protests around the issue of climate change and other environmental issues, like forestry."

Interior Sec. Haaland Supports Digging into #Paiute Massacre Site for Lithium

Raided and terrorized by police, their Eagle Feathers taken, now Interior Sec. #DebHaaland has broken their hearts, imperiling future generations. Ox Sam Camp at the Paiute Massacre Site. The People of the Ghost Dancers
"Interior Sec. Deb Haaland supports digging into the burial places of massacred Paiutes for #lithium -- and said she is doing the right thing.
"AP reports that Haaland, whose department oversees Thacker Pass, said that while she supports
the right to peaceful #protests, her agency is in favor of the mine because 'the need for our clean
energy economy to move forward is definitely important.'
"Haaland told The Associated Press that when her agency inherits a project from a previous
administration, 'It’s our job to make sure we’re doing things according to the science, to the law.'
However, the Interior Department and a federal judge are violating federal laws that protect Native
American religious and burial places; #endangered species and their habitat; and the #groundwater."
