Know Your Rights
Out of fear of organised resistance, universities and governments are increasingly restricting protest rights through new laws and policies. Despite this, many protections for protesters remain, and it’s important to equip ourselves with the knowledge to keep ourselves safe and confident taking action.
Because laws change frequently and campus repression varies, this guide signposts you resources where you can access updated information to suit your different needs. This includes materials addressing challenges faced by marginalized campaigners, including those with insecure immigration status. Even if you think this section isn’t relevant to to you as an individual, it is still very important to engage with these resources. An awareness of the risks faced by our comrades helps us to organise in a way that is more accessible for all, and contributes to a culture of mutual care.
