Defend the ECHR

The European Convention on Human Rights has quietly underpinned our lives for over 70 years. 

It protects our freedom to speak out, to protest, to love who we choose, to live in peace, and to seek justice when governments get things wrong. 

But in May, a new political agreement could change how the Convention is interpreted, making it easier for governments to deport people, regardless of concerns for their safety.  

Weakening key human rights protections risks opening the door to a slow erosion of the fundamental freedoms we rely on for ourselves, our families and our wider communities.
