Independent Media Transcript 5 March 2006

It Rained on John Howard's Parade
by tongmaster Sydney IMC 2/3/06

Several hundred people braved the downpour to make their voices heard. Pitt St was the perfect auditorium as their combined voices rang throughout the CBD.

Anti-Howard chants reverberated down Pitt St as the guests began to arrive for John Howard's celebration, jeering appropriately as well know occupants were identified

The crowd was vocal, passionate and incredibly well behaved, at least for the time that I was there. Unfortunately I had to leave before the end but as there has been almost nil media coverage, I'm assuming there were no arrests. This is amazing as the State Protection Group's thugs out numbered the protestors and they've not been averse to starting a fight in the past. There was also a large mounted presence.

Best of all, was the fact that it rained and rained and rained :)

As Waiting for Guinness sing, "you'll be re-elected, it's as clear as day, just keep the wingers in the gutter and the riff raff away" - blow that horn ;)

STUDENTS STRIP FOR SWEAT-FREE UC
US IMC Via Santa Cruz, CA 3/3/06

Stripping down to their skivvies, students at UC schools protested sweatshop-made UC collegiate apparel. Bearing the slogan: “We tried to find sweat-free clothes in our bookstore and this is what we came out with” (i.e. nothing), students highlighted the widespread practice of producing collegiate apparel in factories with poor labor standards.

A few dozen spirited students turned out at UC Santa Cruz (

Photos, Audio), more than 50 at Berkeley and another 50 at San Diego (

SDIMC Story, Photos, Videos). Protests were reportedly held at Santa Barbara, Irvine and Riverside as well. Regardless of the school, few clothes were to be seen.
