Change for the better happens when people stand together and demand it.
Scotland needs that change. Too many of us are being cut off from life's essentials. Too many are frightened of what the future will bring. Too many of us are feeling tired, angry, isolated, and disillusioned.
Too many are going hungry, or are without a home, or sacrificing meals for families, dreading winter due to heating costs, or struggling to get by on wages that don’t cover their household costs.
Scotland Demands Better is our chance to come together and demand that politicians make the changes we need for a society where every household can thrive and prosper.
The EIS supports this campaign, and it would be great if you could mobilise your Local Association to join the EIS contingent at the march and rally.
The EIS will march behind the national banner, and Local Associations are encouraged to bring their own local banner.
Scotland Demands Better is our chance to come together and demand that politicians make the changes we need for a society where every household can thrive and prosper.
