Dear John 



Help us protect UK democracy



Take a stand against the government’s insidious power grab and its attempts to stifle the voice of civil society



This is worrying time for democracy. The Government is attempting to push through a new Election Bill. This is designed to make the UK less democratic by giving Ministers unprecedented and unchecked powers to stifle opposition, deter participation in elections and establish an unequal playing field for future elections in favour of those already in power.



At the same time, the recently passed Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill will clamp down on our right to protest with harsh punishments for causing ‘serious annoyance’ and strict regulations on even single person protests. The Home Secretary will have the power to determine what constitutes ‘serious annoyance’.







Clearly, the Government seeks to establish laws which will make it harder for civil society to hold power to account.



This isn’t something we can take lying down. Don’t let this Government’s attempts to undermine democracy succeed. Add your name to our petition and take a stand. <[link removed]>

Both Bills will be back in front of parliament in the first two weeks of September. Take this opportunity now to take a stand - and help us build a clear public opposition to the erosion of our democratic values.



Best wishes,
