Kill the Bill posters were plastered around Stroud as protests took place across the country on Saturday.
Posters were placed on Stroud MP Siobhan Baillie’s constituency office as protesters continue to demonstrate against a proposed bill of law granting the police greater powers to clamp down on protest action.
London saw its largest "Kill the Bill" protest to date on Saturday.
Thousands of protesters gathered in Trafalgar Square and marched up the Mall in a co-ordinated demonstration against the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill.
The Bill was drafted partly in response to previous disruptive action by Extinction Rebellion and Black Lives Matter.
The proposed legislation would give police in England and Wales more powers to impose conditions on non-violent protests – including those deemed too noisy or a nuisance, with those convicted liable to fines or jail terms.
