Freedom to Protest days of action - December 10th - 12th

"The growth of repressive measures being used against protests needs to continue to be challenged. In the last year campaigners have won some notable victories against certain laws, police violence and harassment, bans, ‘kettles’ etc

The idea of the Day of Local Actions is to highlight and celebrate our determination as campaigners and activists to continue to oppose injustice and oppression, and to encourage opposition and resistance to unjust laws

Any oppressive laws can be rendered unworkable through protest, non-co-operation and defiance!

We are calling for local celebrations of past campaigns and struggles that have enabled all those seeking a better world to continue to assemble, meet, march, picket, leaflet, protest, strike, occupy and take direct action. Such rights and freedoms have not been handed down by the powers-that-be, but won through struggles over the last 100 years or more.

Why not organise a special event, activity or protest in your area, or at specially significant sites of past struggles for the right to protest or freedom of speech? You could even just lay on a coffee morning to raise funds for a relevant campaign or group of defendants, do some leafleting, or issue a press release about Freedom To Protest issues.

Wherever there is injustice or oppression, there is protest and resistance"
