The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill is a dangerous and unnecessary piece of legislation that endangers the rights and safety of every single one of us.
The Bill hands unprecedented new powers to the police. It cracks down on our rights to protest, includes the criminalisation of Gypsy, Roma & Traveller communities, and increases the tools of state violence against communities who bear the brunt of a racist, sexist criminal justice system.
We must be clear: there is no version of this Bill that is tolerable. Whilst we support the many efforts to stop this Bill passing through Parliament, we also call on all groups and organisations to stand unified in demanding nothing less than a complete rejection of the Bill.
