Protect the Right to Protest

Sign the petition to protect our right to protest


We call on the Minns Labor Government to:

  • Protect the right to protest in NSW.
  • Repeal the anti-protest laws introduced by both the current Labor Government and the former Liberal Government.

By signing this, you agree to be added to our mailing list to hear more about this campaign.

The right to protest is a fundamental human right and a cornerstone of our democracy. 

NSW has a proud history of protest movements that have shaped our society. From the first Mardi Gras parade to the renowned Green Bans protecting green space and heritage across Sydney - much of what we love about living here has been hard-won through protest movements.

Disappointingly, the former Liberal government, with unanimous support from the Labor party introduced draconian anti-protest laws that sought to erode protest rights in NSW and introduce jail time for activists like the Knitting Nannas. The NSW Labor Government has since expanded these undemocratic laws, to further criminalise peaceful protest.

Will you sign our petition calling on the Labor Government to repeal these anti-protest laws and to protect the right to protest?
