Housmans are very excited to be welcoming Christian Weaver to shop to celebrate the official launch of his vital new book Your Right To Protest. Christian is a human rights barrister, social justice campaigner. His first book The Law In 60 Seconds: A Pocket Guide To Your Rights, has been a long time staple of the Housmans catalogue and one of our bestselling titles, it is an essential and accessible guide for those interested in activism and direct action. In Your Right To Protest he expands on many of the themes explored in the first book and brings together everything you need to know when taking a stand. Whether you are marching on the streets or making your voice heard from your own front room, organising in your workplace or writing a letter to your MP, this essential guide equips you with your fundamental rights and the laws that protect you – as well as the ones you might inadvertently break.

From attending a demonstration to when the police can – and can’t – stop you, this book has your back. In it, you’ll find up-to-date information on a whole range of topics, including:

– Public assembly and who to notify when you’re on the move

– Striking in the workplace and action your employer can take against you

– Direct action and when it crosses over into trespass

– Stop and search and how to access help if you are arrested

– Online activism and what to do if you accidentally libel someone

For activists new and old alike, Your Right to Protest is the indispensable guide to using your voice for what you believe in.
