The first All Under One Banner national assembly has been hailed as a “huge success” by organisers.
More than 60 representatives of Yes groups and other organisations and activists met in Glasgow yesterday to discuss how to grow marches and maximise their impact in 2020.
The grassroots pressure group organised the event to bring together the Yes movement and talk about different strategies and tactics.

Keir McKechnie, an AUOB organiser said: “AUOB Assembly is all about maximising the success of the wider Yes movement in order that #IndyRef2 is held and then Scotland’s independence is secured.
“The assembly builds on the ambitious plans of AUOB to demonstrate the powerful demands of the Scottish people for self-determination.
“It gathered fantastic ideas, strategies and tactics from those who attended. It also established local groups that will maximise the impact of AUOB marches planned for Arbroath, Glasgow, Peebles, Elgin, Kirkcaldy, Stirling and Edinburgh during 2020”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
