#WeProtest to make our voices heard when the powerful refuse to listen.
When the council tried to evict @Sistah_Space, Ngozi and Rose campaigned for a safe space for Black DV survivors.
The #PolicingBill would have stopped them. Email your MP to scrap it action.libertyhumanrights.or…

What do Gov plans to introduce voter ID, restrict legal challenges, and limit protest have in common?
⬇️⬇️⬇️
The Government's legislative agenda makes it clear for all to see:
Gov is attempting to become untouchable by shutting down vital avenues of accountability - in Parliament, through the courts, on the streets and in society.
A democratic crisis. [THREAD] libertyhumanrights.org.uk/fu…

Gov says it wants to build back better – but the road map does nothing to #ProtectEveryone already left behind.
We’ve teamed up with expert charities, NGOs + lawyers to present a new way forward that supports people to stay safe:
THE PROTECT EVERYONE BILL
Polly Edwards retweeted
Instead of putting support in place during the #Covid 19 pandemic, the government chose to diminish Disabled people’s rights. We are pushing hard to get our rights back. Help us fight back by writing to your MPs! #ScrapTheEasements

Coronavirus must end the #HostileEnvironment!
Gov attempts to control #COVID19 & protect public health are undermined by policies which stop undocumented migrants accessing healthcare.
Ministers must firewall NHS data from the Home Office immediately!

BREAKING: Govt must suspend the #HostileEnvironment now. Fear of deportation stops migrants from accessing healthcare.
Restricting anyone’s access to healthcare is bad not only for their health, but for that of the wider public too #COVID19

📍 OXFORD CIRCUS | #FacialRecognition
Remember:
🔘 Avoid the area if you can.
🔘 You CAN cover your face.
🔘 Police can't ask you to remove covering unless section 60 in place - have to tell you if it is.
But there's a risk covering your face may make police suspicious.

PETITION | #ScrapTheVagrancyAct
1000s of people are arrested every year simply for trying to survive thanks to the Vagrancy Act.
It puts the onus on homeless people to magically turn their fortunes around or risk cruel punishment.
It must be scrapped. change.org/p/housing-and-hom…

BREAKING | Counter-extremism
Leaked docs reveal teachers, doctors and others are unknowingly handing children to the police and sparking counter-terror inquiries when they simply ask for advice.
The #Prevent duty destroys trusted relationships. Scrap it.
