    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     TTeixeira photographed anti-austerity protests in Lisbon, Portugal, on September 15. She says people were protesting against the new austerity measures, which were announced by the government just a few days prior. She says people are concerned about the austerity measures because they are worried these measures will not pull Portugal out of its financial crisis, and she says they can even prevent the country's economy from growing. 'These austerity measures are creating a negative impact on people. They are making the poor poorer, and we have more joblessness and homelessness now,' she said.
    - Jareen, CNN iReport producer

    This is the second set of photographs under the title "Lisbon joined the Day of Global Protest"... Actually the whole Portugal joined this global manifestation.
