Call on the Home Secretary to take a positive new approach to protest rights by scrapping the public order elements of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022, as well as the entirety of the Public Order Act 2023 and the Serious Disruption Regulations.

What does the future hold if we allow the government to restrict our right to protest?

The answer is: nothing good.

No matter where we come from or who we vote for, we all want those in power to listen to our concerns on issues we care deeply about. The time to act is now.

The previous government attacked our rights to protest and freedom of expression. They tried to restrict challenges to their actions, stopping us from holding them to account.

From 2022, the last UK government passed a wave of anti-protest laws to clamp down on everyone’s ability to peacefully protest in England and Wales. At the same time, they demonised and scapegoated protesters.

The new government must turn the page on this bleak period and scrap the anti-protest restrictions in the Policing, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022,the Public Order Act 2023 and the Serious Disruption Regulations.

People across the UK continue to come together in peaceful protest to protect human rights for all.

The UK has a long and important history of street protest. From anti-apartheid protests, marches for climate action, and the recent protests in solidarity with Palestinians and calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

Protests show how people feel when the government of the day has been on the wrong side of history.

The new government has the opportunity now to change the course of this road to repression. Call on the new Home Secretary to scrap anti-protest laws today.
