Lift The Ban - November 2025 Action
In November, Defend Our Juries will be escalating the campaign to Lift The Ban on Palestine Action ahead of the Judicial Review against the ban.
Locations for the November wave have now been announced, with actions to take place across the UK on two key dates (18th and 29th November), as well as four actions in London (20th, 22nd, 24th, 26th November) and one in the North of Ireland (22nd November). All actions will take place in central locations per town/city.
Read the all important Action Briefing Document here for full details as they emerge (this is a Live document, please check back regularly for info and changes) - taking action in Scotland? Please read the Scotland-specific Action Briefing Document as the law is slightly different there.
Locations:

Thursday 20th - London.
Saturday 22nd - London, Belfast.

Wednesday 26th - London.
Saturday 29th - Bristol, Birmingham, Exeter, Cambridge, Sheffield, Lancaster, Manchester, Edinburgh, Caerdydd (Cardiff).
Each of the actions will take place at 1pm (unless specified otherwise), at a location which will be emailed out to those signed up a few days before the action date. All locations will be accessible with public transport in the city of action. More locations may be released at a later date.
There are signs that the authoritarian powers are cracking, the police are struggling to enforce this absurd law, with some police forces outright refusing to make arrests. International and national human rights groups, politicians and United Nations representatives have condemned both the ban and the subsequent attacks on our civil liberties. Unions are declaring that they will not recognise the ban, with over 2,100 now arrested under ‘terror charges’ related to this peaceful sign-holding campaign.
We will be holding our signs around the UK in key cities and towns, as well as converging on London for the Judicial Review (25-27 November). Book time off now, and sign the form to tell us where you’ll be taking action.
We will not comply with anti-democratic laws. We call on the UK Government to Lift The Ban on Palestine Action and to end UK complicity in Israel’s genocide.
In unity, not uniformity, we join together.
*Please note that these actions come with significant risk of arrest and other legal consequences. Legal briefings and ongoing support are offered by Defend Our Juries and supporting organisations, to help ensure you are informed prior to taking action.
