HARVIE TO OUTLINE BREADTH OF YES TO WORLD MEDIA
Patrick Harvie, Co-convener of the Scottish Greens, will today (11 Sep) join other leading figures in the Yes campaign to outline the breadth of the pro-independence movement to a large audience of international media.
Mr Harvie, whose party has been running its own distinct Green Yes campaign, will speak in Edinburgh alongside the First Minister, Deputy First Minister, Canon Kenyon Wright who chaired the Scottish Constitutional Convention in the 1990s, and Anum Qaisar of Muslim Friends of Labour.
Patrick Harvie MSP said:
"One of the most exciting aspects of this campaign is how broad the Yes movement has become, and Scottish Greens have played a significant part, taking our message far and wide. The level of engagement from the public is amazing and I believe the prospect of building a better democracy has been a key motivating factor.
"Yes has been a wonderful and creative movement, but this debate has already gone way beyond the Yes and No campaigns, and is now being driven by ordinary people having conversations about the kind of country they want to see. The days of aloof leaders telling us how it's going to be are over."
