How To Protest Without Violence

How to protest -

within the law

We believe in the right to protest - Remember that you have a right to protest, peaceful protest it is a vital part of a democratic society and has a very long and respected tradition in the United Kingdom.

You may have heard about new laws and new police powers that restrict your right to protest. You may have concerns about how these affect your ability to use public protest in your campaigns.

Essential information and practical tips for effective peaceful protest:

Peaceful protest is not extreme or unlawful; it is a vital part of a democratic society and has a long and respected tradition in this country. Many of the rights and freedoms we enjoy today were gained because people

were prepared to go out on the streets and protest – ranging from women's right to vote, the rights of gay and lesbian people, and workers’ rights to be part of a trade union.

Peaceful protest can be an effective campaigning tool. A well-organised peaceful protest is a powerful way of raising the profile of your campaign, and because it is so visible it can be great for building networks and alliances by bringing your campaign to the attention of others who may share your views and concerns. This guide will hopefully help you gain the self-confidence to exercise that right with much more confidence and effectiveness.

In recent years, the Government has introduced new criminal laws to deal with a whole range of threats, from terrorism to anti-social behaviour, and from animal rights extremists to stalkers. While these problems are real and the Government is entitled to legislate to protect the public from them and give the police the appropriate tools to do their jobs, these new laws do also give sweeping powers to the police that are not always used in the way Parliament intended. The upshot is that the space for public protest has been restricted, and there is a feeling that public protest is somehow a suspect or extreme activity.


What the new criminal laws mean for you and your local group

Organising a protest - Tell the police if you are organising a protest.The key message from police and local authorities to protesters is always‘let us know’.

Protests are most likely to avoid confrontation with local residents or workers, or the involvement of police, if organizers:
  • notify the police in advance of their plans for the protest
  • advise them of expected numbers
  • apply for a permit if one is required or requested
If you are organizing a march, you are legally required to notify the police six days in advance or as soon as it is reasonably practical to do so. If you are organizing a protest rally that will not involve a march, you are not obliged to notify the police, but you may still want to let them know.

This courtesy allows local authorities to prepare for the gathering, to divert traffic if necessary to ensure the safety of the protesters, and to alert local residents to the disruption they’re likely to face.

You still have the right to protest, but the new laws mean that the police have more excuses to make protest difficult and it is easier for companies to try to prevent you from protesting. There are golden rules to bear in mind in all your campaigns that involve peaceful protest:

Bring people with you- Make sure you are agreed on what you are there for, and that everyone feels that they are part of the protest– a genuinely united group is much more powerful than a group that feels they have been brought there by one or two leaders.

Do not behave antagonistically - In dealing with the police, company employees or members of the public, stay calm and seek to reason. If told to do something, ask why, politely – even if the other person is not being polite.

Assert your right to protest - Remember that you have a right to protest, and you are following a noble tradition with distinguished predecessors.

The right to protest - essential points

1. You have a right to assemble on the public highway
2. Trespass is not (normally) a criminal offence
3. When protest becomes harassment

Although many types of public protest can fall within the definitions above, you will not be committing any offence if your conduct is reasonable – and because you have a right to peaceful protest, if you are peacefully protesting, there is a strong argument that your conduct is reasonable.
