Repeal Challenge 25 ID policy

The Issue

Hello,

Shops are required to ask for proof of age from anybody who looks like they are under the age of 25 when they buy alcohol or other age-restricted products. It is now impossible for most people to go about their lives without having to see those insulting “UNDER 25?” notices on a daily basis.

Young adults are made to feel like second class citizens, being asked to prove their age even when they are obviously adults. An entire generation has been made to feel like they don't matter.

All people have to do to get around Challenge 25 is to just leave the money on the counter and walk out with the drink. But the notices are still nonetheless very unpleasant to have to look at.

You don't see Challenge 25 notices in shops in other countries.

Supermarkets should be pleasant places, not security checkpoints, and adults in their 20s and 30s should not be treated like children.

Please support this petition to make it clear that we want things to change.


Regards,

Jamie
