Independence: Building Momentum
What does it take to build a grassroots movement for Scottish independence? We sit down with Gordon MacIntyre-Kemp, founder of Believe in Scotland, to discuss the organization’s current campaign focus, their active petition, and the strategic work underway to advance the case for independence.

From mobilizing communities to shaping the independence debate, Gordon shares insights into how Believe in Scotland is creating real change at the ground level. And increasing the momentum towards Independence.
If you’re curious about the future of Scottish independence or want to understand the driving force behind one of Scotland’s most active civic campaigns, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
