The People's Assembly Scotland was launched at a standing room-only rally in Glasgow on Saturday with passionate anti-austerity speeches from trade union, political and community leaders activists.
Chairman Phil McGarry set out an agenda around the six demands of the People's Charter: a fair economy, more and better jobs, decent homes, safe and improved public services, fairness and justice and a better future for all.
He appealed for unity across the working-class movement: "No matter what the outcome of September's referendum is, we still have a formidable battle on our hands to win a more progressive Scotland."
We are demanding action from our politicians to deliver justice, fairness and decency throughout our communities – join us, says ROZ FOYER
Our charter’s demands for fair pay, affordable housing and environmental security will recruit working-class youth into the political struggle for socialism, emulating the success of the Women’s Charter, writes YCL general secretary GEORGINA ANDREWS
Here are the voices of DANIEL KEBEDE, FRAN HEATHCOTE, HOLLY TURNER and LEANNE MOHAMAD explaining why they will be taking part in the People’s Assembly No More Austerity demo next weekend
