Thanks to Kyle from @yfoes.bsky.social for meeting with our Young Ambassadors 🤝 We look forward to welcoming Kyle back in a few weeks' time to talk about all things campaigning!
Today we marched in our thousands to say a better world IS possible!
We proved that the energy and enthusiasm to make transformative change happen is there.
We know that the challenges we face, from Glasgow to the Amazon to Palestine, are all deeply connected.

A better world is possible – and you showed up in huge numbers to demand it!🔥
We marched, chanted, sang, listened and learned together.
We know that we are stronger when we connect our issues and demand justice alongside each other.
Onwards!
