Defend the Right to Protest was launched in response to violent police tactics and arrests at the student protests of November and December 2010, with the support of activists, MPs, trade unionists, student groups and others. We campaign against police brutality, kettling and the use of violence against those who have a right to protest. We campaign to defend all those protestors who have been arrested, bailed or charged and are fighting to clear their names.

Defend the Right to Protest is funded entirely through contributions from our supporters. Any amount is welcome and we will use any donations to help fund our campaign activities.*

*Currently we cannot use the donations to fund legal cases, bail, fines or other related matters.
