Dear John,

Tomorrow, MPs will decide whether to re-enact the Coronavirus Act, a piece of legislation that contains powers that would allow this Government to ban protests, strip back social care, close borders and suspend elections.  

Use our easy tool to email your MP today and tell them to repeal these extreme measures and focus instead on a response that protects our rights.

Momentum is growing – more than 11,000 Liberty supporters have already emailed their MP. Keep the pressure up and email yours today. 

Crises for some Governments are used as opportunities to water down human rights and restrict civil liberties.

This has happened here in the UK. Back in March the Government introduced the Coronavirus Act – the biggest restriction on our individual and collective freedoms in a generation.

Liberty has always supported proportionate action to tackle this pandemic. But the powers within the Coronavirus Act can never be justified. As public health experts have been telling us again and again for the past six months, criminalisation and watering down rights are not solutions to a public health crisis – people need support and information to be able to stay safe and take care of one another.

Email your MP today and urge them to take this opportunity to scrap the Coronavirus Act. It’s the first step towards a pandemic response that keeps us safe and respects our rights. 

Best wishes,

Andrew Taylor-Dawson

Development Manager
