Background

Rallies with racist or religious hate chants create fear and intimidation. We ask the government to enforce existing laws, give police clearer powers, and review permits to protect communities while upholding free speech responsibly.

Additional details

We ask the UK Government and Parliament to take stronger action to protect communities from racist and religious hate chants at public rallies. This includes giving police clearer guidance and powers to stop hate speech, enforcing existing public order and hate crime laws consistently, and reviewing rally permits where there is a risk of intimidation, ensuring free speech is exercised responsibly and safely.
