Scottish Trades Union Congress St Andrews Day March

On 26th November 2022 the Scottish Trades Union Congress held a protest march through Glasgow city centre to raise awareness of refugee welfare and the work of Scotland's Black and multi-ethnic communities and allies against racism and the far right. Over one thousand marchers from various community action groups, trade unions and the Sheku Bayou Family Justice Campaign marched from Glasgow Green through the city centre to end with a rally in Bath Street. In the images shown here I’ve tried to capture the peaceful nature of the event, although there was a potential flashpoint when a taxi driver deliberately tried to drive through the procession, thankfully nothing came of it.

Zan, Zendegi, Azadi

On the 19th November 2022 the Iranian Scottish Association held a protest march through the streets of Glasgow to voice their support for the struggle for liberty in Iran and to protest against the death of Mahsa Jina Amini, a 22 year old Iranian girl who died in police custody in Iran after being detained for wearing her hijab too loosely. Over one thousand protestors took part in the procession, many carrying banners proclaiming Zan, Zendegi, Azadin which means Women, Life, Freedom.

All of these photos are from the same event, President Trump visiting Snap on Tools Corporation in Kenosha, WI on April 4th 2017.

Trump supporters were on one side of the street and protesters were on the other side of the street. Sometimes the two sides would intermingle and then there would be confrontations.

The picture of the boy holding the sign is a reference to that the protesters were being paid. The picture of the girl, I like because of the concern she seems to be showing when chaos erupted around her.

March for Science, St. Paul, Minnesota

There were many cities across the nation that participated in the first March For Our Lives on March 24, 2018, this is from the Chicago march.

Almost 3yrs. before the Dobbs decision, protesters gathered on the steps of the Capitol in Madison, WI in May of 2019 as part of the Stop The Bans movement, which advocates for safe, legal, and affordable abortion options.

Protest in NYC

Images by Martin Ingber that can be used as examples to understand the spirit of American protests

This photo should be called 'March For Our Lives'. It's from June of 2022 in Great Neck, New York, & shows one of many local March For Our Lives events that are held throughout the US to protest the ongoing American epidemic of senseless gun violence. These were originally organized by survivors of a horrific High School shooting in Florida that resulted in mass deaths of young people. This image shows a local activist, Nina Gordon (who is also a friend of mine), accompanying a student organizer who was leading the crowd in song.

(May 2019) A demonstrator covered in fake blood, facing Trump Tower on 5th Avenue in NYC, when climate-change denier (& evil idiot) Donald Trump was the US President.

Women's March (Jan. 2017) in NYC, one of many enormous demonstrations held across the US (& around the world) in response to Trump becoming president. I thought it was one of the most artistic signs.

Women's March (Jan. 2017) in NYC, shows part of the huge crowd that completely filled the streets; this view is of 5th Avenue in the heart of Manhattan.

Pro-democracy Israeli demonstration, Boston – March 26th 2023

I am a Boston-based street photographer with an emphasis on shooting protests, rallies and demonstrations in an effort to spread awareness of various social and justice-related issues. On March 26, 2023, Boston Common, I noticed a group with protest signs starting to gather on Boston Common. Hundreds of Israeli-Americans and others came out in force to support the hundreds of thousands of Israelis who have been protesting in the streets Prime Minister Netanyahu’s plan to give elected government officials full authority to choose judges and curtail the Supreme Court’s ability to rule against the executive and legislative branches of the Israeli government as well as government-sanctioned racism.
