Know Your Rights! Get trained up with Green and Black Cross

5 Comments

Tuesday, 23 May 2023 — NETPOL

Our friends at Green and Black Cross are running a free Know Your Rights training on Wednesday 24 May 6pm – 9.30pm!

A new Public Order Act (for England and Wales only) became law in early May, and parts of it are already in force. But as police powers are expanded, many people are confused about where that leaves us. Join the grassroots legal support crew at Green and Black Cross for a Know Your Rights training and find out what you need to know before joining a protest. The training will take place on Zoom, and will cover:

  • Key information you need to know when going on a protest
  • Tips on interacting with police and security
  • Common laws used at protests
  • What to do if you are stop-and-searched or arrested

The training will be 2.5 hours long, with breaks and live auto capitions will be available.

Fill in this Jotform to register for the training.

Sign up for the training now

Online event open to all LRU members – register here

As we’ve seen during the pandemic, our housing system is rigged in the interests of landlords and investors. Our campaigning has won significant protections for renters such as eviction bans, but ultimately the government has chosen to prioritise the profits of landlords over our right to housing.

Restricted access to Grenfell inquiry for survivors and bereaved

Leave a comment

11 July 2020 — WSWS

By Alice Summers

Phase Two of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry resumed Monday after being halted in mid-March due to the coronavirus pandemic. More than three years on from the devastating fire that claimed 72 lives, the resumption of the inquiry confirms its character as a contemptible cover-up.

This week’s reopening met with widespread outrage from survivors and the bereaved over further proposed delays to proceedings and arrangements restricting their access to hearings. As of Friday, the inquiry had only met for 18 days of hearings since January.
