The Movement Against the Monarchy, abbreviated and commonly referred to simply as MAM, is a UK-based anarchist organization that frequently engages in protests against the British monarchy.[1] [2] The most active[citation needed] of the Anti-Monarchist organizations in the United Kingdom, they were a central fixture in British anarchist,[citation needed] and to a lesser extent, Republican,[citation needed]movements, before going into abeyance following police harassment and illegal arrest of 41 activists in the aftermath of protests against the Queen's Golden Jubilee. All but one were later released, and a successful claim for damages was made against the Metropolitan Police[3].
