The indispensable guide to your right to protest

In this handbook, campaigning lawyer Christian Weaver brings together everything you need to know when taking a stand. Whether you are marching on the streets or making your voice heard from your own front room, organising in your workplace or writing a letter to your MP, this essential guide equips you with your fundamental rights and the laws that protect you – as well as the ones you might inadvertently break.

From attending a demonstration to when the police can – and can’t – stop you, this book has your back. In it, you’ll find up-to-date information on a whole range of topics, including:

– Public assembly and who to notify when you’re on the move
– Striking in the workplace and action your employer can take against you
– Direct action and when it crosses over into trespass
– Stop and search and how to access help if you are arrested
– Online activism and what to do if you accidentally libel someone

For activists new and old alike, Your Right to Protest is the indispensable guide to using your voice for what you believe in.
