Dear John



Today marks the second reading of the anti-democratic Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill in the House of Lords.



The Bill, which clamps down on the right to protest and gives the Home Secretary sweeping new powers, is an attack on our hard-won freedoms and goes against the principles we ought to value in a democracy. If you still want the right to peacefully demonstrate, you must help us stop this Bill.

The Policing Bill is just a part of the Government’s broader anti-democratic agenda.



The Elections Bill, for example, would allow cabinet ministers to decide who can and cannot campaign during an election. Proposed reforms to judicial review would make it harder for our courts to scrutinise Government decisions. The Dissolution and Calling of Parliaments Bill (currently in the committee stage) would also make it easier for the party in Government to call an election when it suits them.



Adding your name to the petition will show the Lords there is public support for them to overhaul the Policing Bill. The government shouldn’t be able to silence its critics. Add your name to save our right to protest.



We are living through an era where the Government is all too happy to weaken our democracy before our eyes. This blatant power grab must be stopped in its tracks.



Will you show your support for our campaign for better democracy by signing the petition below?
