Make it a specific criminal offence to protest outside someone's home
Change the law to make it a specific criminal offence to protest outside someone’s home, so the police can act to disperse vigilante groups who gather outside someone’s home to harass individuals and families and allow them to arrest those who refuse to disperse.
Require protesters and police to be easily identifiable during protests
We want Parliament to require protesters to not cover their faces at protests and to ban police from covering badge numbers to ensure both protesters and police can be easily identifiable. We believe this ensures accountability for violence or excessive force, protecting peaceful, lawful protest.
Stop new powers limiting repeat protests
Withdraw proposals to give police powers to restrict or ban “repeat protests". We think these measures undermine the right to free expression, peaceful assembly and democratic participation in the UK. Peaceful protest is a vital part of holding Government to account. Defend free speech.
Ban the use of live animals in Local Authority organised parades and events
Ban any local authority event from using live animals such as reindeer in public parades.
