What is Scotland Demands Better?

Scotland Demands Better is a campaign led by civil society organisations in Scotland which aims to highlight the practical ideas to overcome the injustice of poverty – and the resources needed to make change.

Civil society organisations across Scotland are at the heart of communities, knowing intimately the strengths and challenges those communities face. Scotland Demands Better is a campaign for civil society organisations to come together in a way we rarely do, building towards a national march and rally on the 25^th of October in Edinburgh. It’s time to show strength and to unify calls for change.

Scotland Demands Better is a chance to come together and demand that politicians make the changes we need for a society where every household can thrive and prosper:

• #WeDemandBetter jobs for everyone who needs one, with fair conditions and wages that pay the bills.
• #WeDemandBetter investment for life’s essentials – like affordable homes, good public transport, a thriving natural environment, and strong public services.
• #WeDemandBetter social security so that all of us have a foundation for the future.
