Join us as we take action to change our failed drug laws

THIS YEAR IS THE 10th ANNIVERSARY OF ANYONE’S CHILD: FAMILIES FOR SAFER DRUG CONTROL

We will be taking action in Parliament on 24th June, 2025, to show the public and politicians that we stand for better drug laws. To achieve change, we need you there.

The Anyone’s Child lobby is part of the Support Don’t Punish Global Day of Action, which takes part across the world. On this day, 1000s of people in over 85 countries come together to call for drug policies that are centred on health and human rights.

What will happen on the day?

To mark our 10 year anniversary, we’re not only organizing a mass lobby of Parliament, calling for an urgent review of the Misuse of Drugs Act and to end the drug war, we are also hosting an event to showcase the best of drug policy reform at Church House, westminster

Activists can meet their MP throughout the day to discuss why our drug laws are failing and what can be done.

If you can only attend for part of the day, then please join us regardless. You are welcome at any point! Let us know if you’re planning to attend and we’ll send you more details.

Frequently Asked Questions

My MP hasn’t responded to me, what do I do?2024-03-13T15:47:03+00:00

First try following up with your MP through email and phone call. If this doesn’t help then please contact us at info@anyoneschild.org and we can advise you on the next steps. You can still join us on the day even if you have not arranged a meeting with your MP.

What if I don’t live in London?2024-03-05T10:02:51+00:00

Lots of people travel to London for the day to attend the lobby from all over the UK. We will organise a coach for activists from Bristol to and from London on the day. Please contact info@anyoneschild.org to reserve a coach seat. If you are interested in a coach from elsewhere in the UK or need assistance getting to London, please get in touch.

Do I have to meet my MP?2024-03-05T10:04:25+00:00

No! It’s a great opportunity to have your voice heard, but you do not have to meet your MP. We still need as many people there as possible. There will be lots happening on the day and lots of other activists for you to meet.
