Join the Network

The Defy-ID network exists to raise awareness about ID cards, to actively resist the introduction of ID cards, and to support those taking action against the police state more generally.

The idea is not that groups would be formed specifically to protest against increasing surveillance and ID cards, but that existing groups would join the Defy-ID network. This would form the basis for resistance to every stage of the introduction of ID cards and could involve all kinds of campaigning methods.

In the long-term, if Blunkett gets as far as introducing these cards, individuals who wish to resist could be put in touch with the nearest group to them which is part of the Defy-ID network. Such a group might, for example, be a community group, anti-fascist, environmental, animal rights, tenants association or asylum seekers support group.

To become a part of the network, as an individual or group, write to us with your contact details.
