THANKS to our 10,000 Steps campaign – where we pledge to directly invest in independence for every subscriber we sign up – we’ve already been able to directly influence the new Yes campaign. Our series of monthly supplements aimed at No voters have been a roaring success and have sparked thousands of conversations about converting to Yes across Scotland.

We’ve been able to hire a full-time video journalist to help create viral videos and spread the message about an independent Scotland. We’re now on the cusp of our next target – 8000 – where we’ll launch a Unionist fact-checking and rebuttal service just in time for an indyref campaign next year. We’ve also added a new target at 8500 – a commitment to launch a new National Yes Hub for campaigners – and if we make it to 9000 we’ll hire a journalist to work directly for Yes groups on local content to help persuade No voters in your area. What are you waiting for?
