Welcome to Hope Over Fear
Hope Over Fear is a grassroots campaign committed to pursuing and promoting independence for Scotland and raising the vision of a radical, democratic and socialist country which implements fundamental redistribution of Scotland’s vast wealth and resources via fair taxation, minimum living wages, public ownership and root and branch land reform.
An Independent Scotland would be a wealthy Scotland — don’t believe their lies that suggest otherwise. Thanks to the plundering, blundering British Government, Scotland suffers with some of the most deprived areas in Europe. But our fight for Scottish Independence isn’t just about wealth and prosperity, important as these things are. We want Scotland to play a leading part in the world, arguing against injustice and serving humanity as a shining example of hope over fear…

UNITED FOR INDEPENDENCE
Hope Over Fear – Back in Freedom Square demanding IndyRef2 to deliver Scotland’s Freedom
Hope Over Fear has organised independence rallies involving live entertainment interspersed with rousing speeches every year since October 2014 stating categorically our commitment to shake off the restrictive and exploitative chains of Westminster’s corrupt and corrosive rule by all democratic means possible. Due to Covid19 restrictions we could not assemble in September 2020, but we aim to make up for that absence with a bigger rally than ever this September on Sunday the 19th almost seven years to the day after the 2014 Referendum which we so nearly won against all the odds.
We are assembling to demand the Scottish Government use the democratic mandate they secured in May’s Scottish Parliament elections to call IndyRef2 with or without the consent of Westminster. We demand the Scottish Government informs Westminster of the proposed date in Spring of 2022. We do not ask Westminster for permission we respectfully inform them of our intention. Scotland is a nation trapped in a voluntary union of other nations and that arrangement is holding back our potential to flourish as a fairer, more prosperous and peace love country committed to social welfare not destructive warfare.
Hope Over Fear assembled in Glasgow’s George Square in October 2014 to lift the spirits of the whole independence movement and declare our intention to never give up our hope for a new, better, and fairer independent nation. We have assembled in our thousands every September since then and we are back on the 19th this year to demand we push forward with urgency and gusto. Far too much poverty and inequality already scar our country and the situation worsens by the day under corrupt Tory rule in Westminster. Scotland is crying out for independence to allow us to lift our communities and families out of poverty and into a world of greater fairness and equality underpinned by a strong economy and global leader in clean energy technology and production.
Please help us organise a huge rally for independence on Sunday 19th September. Donate towards the costs of professional staging, PA systems, safety barriers and public space hire. If you cannot afford to donate money, please donate some time to publicising the event via your own social media outlets. Most importantly of all please make every effort to travel to Glasgow on Sunday 19th September and stand with the rest of us in a human chain of solidarity and hope demanding Scotland’s freedom.

The Hope Over Fear campaign was established in 2013 to target communities, estates and villages missed by the official YES Campaign. Our founder Tommy Sheridan addressed 121 public meetings and spoke to thousands of potential YES citizens in every corner of Scotland.
In the immediate aftermath of the September 18th referendum result there was widespread disappointment at the narrow loss for YES but also tremendous pride that we rose from only 25% support for Independence in October 2013 to 45% support in September 2014.
Hope Over Fear organised a rally in Glasgow’s Freedom Square in October 2014 to raise the spirits of the whole Indy Movement and declare loudly that our independence dream would never die. We made a public declaration to return every September on or near to the 18th September day to continue the demand for Scotland’s freedom. That promise has been fulfilled and each year since 2014 tens of thousands have gathered in Freedom Square in September to stand proudly with hope in our hearts for a new and better Scotland.
The next rally takes place on March 16th March 2019 and we write to ask you for a donation towards the costs of organising the event and the wider Hope Over Fear campaign. We are entirely a volunteer group with no one receiving individual financial support but the stage, PA, large screen, free kids rides, security fencing, steward bibs and first aid provision costs in the region of £5,000. Can you please make a voluntary donation, anonymously or otherwise, towards the costs of this important annual event in the Indy Family’s calender?
