The Poverty Alliance need your support in demanding change and marching alongside them in Edinburgh on 25 October.
Change for the better happens when we stand together and demand it.
With 1 in 5 of us living with the injustice of poverty – in Scotland, in 2025 – we need that change now.
The Poverty Alliance has launched Scotland Demands Better – a coalition campaign to show politicians at all levels that we already have the solutions and resources to tackle the injustice of poverty – what we need more of is action.
They are asking all Poverty Alliance members and allies to stand alongside them and support this campaign – and to join them in Edinburgh on 25 October for a March for All of Us with the very simple message – Scotland Demands Better.
More than 70 organisations are already signed up including Citizens Advice Scotland, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, STUC, Church of Scotland and more.
Sign up here to join the march and support the campaign.
