Protesters took to the streets again a week after the grand jury ruling of Breonna Taylor that ruled her killers innocent on the 23rd of September. The same protest groups remained on the streets for a week straight on end, with certain protests ending with police more violently reacting to the demonstrations.
Hundreds of insurgents and protesters across the indigenous region of Araucania in Chile carried out sabotage actions and demonstrations against forestal machinery and exploitation of ancestral Mapuche land, demanding its immediate handing over to the original tribes and families who inhabited it, many of who still exist displaced today.
Around 150 protesters took to the streets of Valparaíso to demand the end of femicides as well as access to free and safe abortions, something long denied in Chile. Demonstrators placed barricades, in response to which heavily militarized police arrived on the scene and attacked the crowd, making several brutal arrests.
Police in Athens brutally assaulted protesters gathering for a demonstration in solidarity with Dimitris Koufontinas, a former member of 17N who entered a hunger strike to demand his transfer to the Korydallos prison for better medical care and visitors. Tear gas was deployed and arrests were made after only 15 minutes of the crowd beginning to assemble.
More than 1,000 protesters gathered in West Philadelphia for a protest, which, after clashes with police, quickly devolved into a riot, with teams of people looting Walmarts and the stores of other large corporations. Many cops were injured and were entirely pushed back from the city after the National Guard failed to arrive.
