Peaceful protest has played a crucial role in shaping the countryside over the years.
#WeProtest for the protection and enhancement of our countryside for generations to come.
#WeProtest to make our voices heard when the powerful refuse to listen.
When the council tried to close Friern Barnet Library, the community came together to save it.
Gov's #PolicingBill would have shut their protest down.
