MEDIA REVIEWS
A very valuable read ... Your Right to Protest has got lots of valuable information and I learned so much from it! - Trisha Goddard, Talk TV
Your right to protest is enshrined - and Christian Weaver wants to protect that. With the focus on a wide range of protests - from public demonstrations to less obvious examples such as letters to MPs and Freedom of Information requests, Weaver aims to empower people by democratising the law and giving people an understanding of the rights they may not realise they have - Stephen Topping, Manchester Evening News
The right to peaceful protest has been curtailed in recent years, and issues like racism appear to be endemic, institutional and multi-generational ... but there are things you can do and battles that you can fight and win ... Your Right to Protest is a guide to making your voice heard - Adrian Goldberg, Byline Times
Essential reading - Ruth Hannan, founder, Care Full Economy
