What do SFI members do?
Campaign: for an independent socialist Scotland, but many SFI members are active in other campaigns and parties too
Solidarity: using SFI to build support for the campaigns and issues of other groups
Local: building the campaign locally is a great way to strengthen the case for an independent socialist Scotland
International: linking up with socialists and social justice campaigns from England, Wales, Northern Ireland and across the world.
How are decisions made in SFI?
Grassroots: SFI aims to be as participatory as possible. Our nine-person Executive Committee is responsible for providing strategic direction for SFI and is elected at our Annual General Meeting.
Meetings and Forums: ongoing challenges, opportunities and political strategies are discussed at open monthly meetings which take place both online and in person.
Rules: We aim to be as open and inclusive as possible, and therefore aim to have as few rules as possible to allow for this. We aim to allow as much discussion as possible.
Working groups: these are organised around our three main areas of concern: policy work, international outreach and communication. All members are welcome to attend as many of these meetings as they wish!
Goodwill: with a democratic, open political culture and a fund of goodwill, SFI relies entirely on its members.
What about the Yes movement?
Diverse: we are committed to contributing to a broad Yes movement that includes a strong socialist voice
Collaboration: working alongside others in the Yes movement to help build support for an independent Scotland
Links: joining with like-minded activists, raising the socialist banner to ensure a post-independent Scotland for the many, not just the richest elite.
