Dozens of protesters gathered at the Justice Center in Portland for a Stop the Fascist Coup demonstration, burning the American flag and a “Police Lives Matter” flag taken in Salem during clashes on the same day.

Greek vegan anarchists in Athens gathered on New Year’s Eve to protest against speciesism and brutality on animals, by the form of mass confinement and murder for meat and other products.

Before dispersing, a banner was dropped in the Cyprus park of Patision, after which the march ended.
