ALL Under One Banner (AUOB) has announced when it will hold the first “mass mobilisation of 2022” in a renewed push for Scottish independence.
The campaigning organisation said that it aims to organise “as broad a platform as possible” in an effort to bring the Yes movement together.
AUOB said it will be contacting “all pro-independence political parties and seeking representation from across the Yes movement”.
A post on Twitter asked people who they would like to see take to the stage at AUOB marches in 2022.
Previous AUOB rallies have seen a wide range of speakers from multiple different parties and organisations.
The first of 2022's demonstrations will be held in Paisley on March 5. There will then be one held every month until October, spanning towns and cities across Scotland.
The full list of events is as follows:
- 5 March - Paisley
- 2 April - Arbroath
- 14 May - Glasgow
- 11 June - Dumfries
- 25 June - Bannockburn
- 30 July - Faslane
- 20 August - Inverness
- 10 September - Falkirk
- 1 October - Edinburgh
The announcement was made on Tuesday, the two year anniversary of as many as 80,000 people marching through Glasgow.
#OTD in 2020 80K marched for independence through the streets of Glasgow. Soon on 5 March the 1st mass mobilisation of 2022 takes place at Paisley. The movement has always risen to the challenge, so if we can mobilise a tenth of what we did then it will be phenomenal #AUOBPaisley https://t.co/2Jzb2Tu9we

The campaigning organisation added: “This year we have to take to the streets in our masses - not for any political party or leader, and not because we expect these marches to themselves bring independence.
“We will march for us - to rejuvenate, grow and feel our own power. We require the stamina. Let's cultivate it.”
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!
