Today we marched in our thousands to say a better world IS possible!

We proved that the energy and enthusiasm to make transformative change happen is there.

We know that the challenges we face, from Glasgow to the Amazon to Palestine, are all deeply connected.

A better world is possible – and you showed up in huge numbers to demand it!🔥

We marched, chanted, sang, listened and learned together.

We know that we are stronger when we connect our issues and demand justice alongside each other.

Onwards!

BREAKING 🚨: We’re calling on the Chancellor @RachelReevesMP to commit £1.9 billion a year for transition funding for North Sea workers.

We need a proper industrial strategy that puts worker justice at its heart.

The carbon capture industry has been promised £2️⃣2️⃣billion of public money - to be paid for via our energy bills.

The UK Government is cutting vital support from people who need it whilst giving a huge handout to wealthy oil companies.

Without stronger government action, Scotland’s renewable energy ambitions risk being built on a foundation of exploitation and inequality with workers concerns being ignored at every turn.
