Blethering Skite

The Scottish Independence Congress meets four times a year and is open to all independence campaigning groups across Scotland. Believe in Scotland launched its Yes group organiser meetings in 2019 (initially called the Big Yes Gathering), which was renamed the Scottish Independence Congress in Feb 2023.

The Congress is the biggest meeting of grassroots independence campaign groups With an annual congress in February it hosts three to four Mini Congress’ a year to discuss topical issues. 

On Wednesday the 21st of August, 119 local and national Indy campaign group leaders logged onto a two hour online conference to discuss Scotland's road to independence in these challenging times. 

Proposed by the 33 strong elected National Campaign Steering Group of Believe in Scotland, the citizens’ Convention can be seen open up a conversation about creating a better scotland which we believe in turn will progress us towards independence by circumnavigating the unfair and completely undemocratic roadblocks set up by Westminster.

You can read the summary of the proposal here.

The National Campaign Steering Group of Believe in Scotland has proposed a new path to independence for Scotland, one that circumnavigates the unfair and completely undemocratic roadblocks set up by Westminster. A Citizens' Convention means everyone will be heard on this new road to an independent Scotland.
