Why

The Chris Minns NSW Labor government cynically exploited the "criminal con-job" caravan hoax to rush through a series of anti-democratic laws, based on lies, designed to attack our right to protest.

One of these changes means that police are empowered to ban and "move-on" protests near places of worship, even if the protest is not targeting or has nothing to do with that place of worship! This could include Town Hall Square, Hyde Park, and many other important and historical sites of democratic protest.

On Thursday 19 June we're taking the Government to court to challenge these laws and have them struck down!

The challenge is being led by the Palestine Action Group, in conjunction with a range of civil liberties, human rights and other activist organisations.

These laws could be used against anyone who wants to stand up and protest about anything.

Be there to support this challenge and to defend our right to protest in NSW!
