Signatories of 136 organisations (including the Equal Rights Trust) who signed a pledge against the UK government's plans to repeal the Human Rights Act. The pledge made by the signatories reads: 

We believe in fundamental human rights and freedoms – shared values that protect every member of the human family and the society we seek to build together. Human rights underpin our democracy, hold Governments to account and require that everyone’s dignity is equally respected. We pledge to oppose any Government plans to repeal our Human Rights Act – in so doing we stand firm on guaranteeing universal human rights protections for generations to come.
