Ten Steps To Keep On Walking... 1. Stay engaged. Keeping talking to people about the issues that concern you, share ideas about what youd like to change and give thought on ways to enact your ideas in the real world 2. Consider joining a political party in Scotland. We recommend the SNP, Scottish Greens or SSP. Right now their membership is swelling as thousands of new people sign up. Their established structure might help give you focus and access to new information and activities with other like-minded people. snp.org/get-involved scottishgreens.org.uk/ scottishsocialistparty.org/join-us/ 3. Give serious considerations to which supermarkets, businesses and banks you use. Boycotting the businesses and brands who became an integral part of Project Fear may not be practical for you, or helpful for those who work there, but it is worth considering. Waitrose, Asda. John Lewis, M&S, Standard Life, RBS, BP and others all became very vocal and partisan during the democratic process. Feel free to be vocal with how you spend your money. Continue to vote with your feet and your wallet. 4. Join other organisations who may represent your beliefs or views: cnduk.org/ womenforindependence.org/ allofusfirst.org/ radicalindependence.org/ 5. Consider cancelling your TV license. There are many online resources regarding the legal issues around non-payment of your license you may want to explore. Obtain your news and information from non-mainstream sources but if you need to read any of the 37 daily newspapers which stood against independence challenge their online editorial in comments if you continue to use them. wingsoverscotland/ newsnetscotland/ bellacaledonia.org.uk/ paper.li/scotYes 6. Find post-YES projects and groups to support. Well post them here as we hear more about how people are regrouping on the ground. 7. Find your nearest foodbank and offer donations or help. The vulnerable need us now more than ever. foodbank.org.uk 8. Use social media to share and disseminate information, ideas, information on events and on the ground action. Express your thoughts and ideas with others. Use hashtags to add your voice to the conversation e.g. #the45 9. Continue to hold your current MSPs and MPs to account. Learn who they are, where their constituency office is and how they behave in power via theyworkforyou Write to them regularly to request answers and action quickly and easily via https://writetothem 10. Dont give up, dont resign yourself, dont return to business as usual. Be positive, creative, magnanimous, there is much work to be done but youre not alone, there are 1.6 million of us and more who are with you all the way. You had power at the ballot box, you have power still, please continue to use it! PLEASE SHARE! #the45
