A lady standing and a man in a power wheelchair pointing at a large poster saying Scotland demands better. The sky is blue and the sun is shining.
A group of people of all ages holding placards that say "lack of action = more poverty" and "you're not listening, listen to the people"
Children holding placards on a cobbled street
People marching through a city with placards and banners. The sky is blue and the sun is shining.
Scotland Demands Better was the breath of solidarity and joy that was needed this weekend! Great to be there with my @jrf-uk.bsky.social colleagues, the End Poverty Scotland Group and our family and friends. Let's keep up the momentum!
