As part of Challenge Poverty Week (11-18 October), trade union members and community activists from across Scotland are coming together (http://www.ajustscotland.org/events/4/18-october-march-and-rally) to say, irrespective of their views on the outcome of the referendum, ‘It’s time to create a Just Scotland’.

At the same time there are ‘Britain Needs A Pay Rise’ rallies in London and across the country. This is allied to the ‘There Is A Better Way’ campaign.
