The next Lift The Ban action will take place at Parliament Square in London on September 6th at 1pm. Sign up here to make a commitment to standing with 1,000 others to demand the de-proscription of Palestine Action, and an end to UK complicity in genocide.

Please read the Action Briefing Document in full before committing to this action. There is a significant risk of arrest for those who take part. The action will only go ahead if 1,000 people make a commitment.

500+ people committed to action on August 9th, over 1,000 people showed up and more than half of them were arrested - Defend Our Juries made clear our intention to continue to oppose this absurd ban until it is overturned by Judicial Review in November.

This is a defining moment for peaceful protest in the United Kingdom. The proscribing of direct action groups as “terrorist organisations” is a major assault on democracy and everyone’s rights to freedom of expression. Since Yvette Cooper and the UK Government brought in the ban on Palestine Action just one month ago, three times as many people have been arrested under the Terrorism Act (for such “offences” as holding a sign) than the total number of terrorism-related arrests in the whole of last year!

We will not comply with anti-democratic laws. We call on the UK Government to Lift The Ban on Palestine Action.

In unity, not uniformity, we join together.
