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

We will be taking action in Parliament on 27th June, 2023 to show the public and politicians that we stand for better drug laws. To achieve change, we need you there.

This day is for people who know that drug use is a health issue, not a criminal one. If you’re ready to take action and support a global movement calling for reform of our failed drug laws, then please join us for our 7th annual lobby.

The mass lobby is part of the Support Don’t Punish Global Day of Action which is recognised each year in over 100 countries as individuals come together to call for drug policies that are centred around health and human rights.

So, what’s next?

What will happen on the day?

We will meet on College Green, just outside of Parliament for speeches and a memorial for those who have died from our failed drug policies at 12 PM. Refreshments and a place to relax will be available at a nearby space. 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

I can’t make it on the 27th – is there any way I can still get involved?2023-05-02T15:41:23+01:00

Yes, you can still meet your MP on a different day when you have availability (this can be in your local area). We can also help you through this process. Here is a template with instructions to help you get started.

Can I come to the lobby alone?2024-03-05T10:03:12+00:00

Yes! Many people attend the lobby alone and everyone is welcome.

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 should I say to my MP?2024-03-13T15:47:30+00:00

It is best to share your personal reasons for supporting drug law reform. Please get in touch if you would like any help with preparation (info@anyoneschild.org). We also have resources available.

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.

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.
