A Weekend of Protest (36 photos)

Over the past few days, thousands and thousands of citizens around the world marched through the streets of cities and towns, voicing their opposition to, or support for, dozens of issues. From anti-Trump protests in the U.S., U.K., and Mexico, to anti-brutality demonstrations in France, to a pro-law-enforcement march in Hong Kong and a massive pro-refugee demonstration in Spain, and much more. Gathered here are just a handful of images of the varied unrest that erupted into public protests worldwide this weekend.

Thousands of people march to demand that Spain’s government increase its efforts to take in refugees who have fled the war in Syria and other violent conflicts in Barcelona, Spain, on February 18, 2017. Spain has taken in just 1,100 refugees of the over 17,000 it has pledged to accept. The banner reads, in Catalan: “Enough Excuses! Take Them In Now!”. (Manu Fernandez / AP)
