This opportunity comes at an exciting and worrying time in our\npolitics: there is no room for complacency and we have the chance to create a\nbetter future for our country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Boris Johnson as Prime Minister of the UK, it looks as though\nwe are heading for a no deal Brexit, against the will of the majority of people\nin Scotland. We know that those supporting him, his cronies, and the far right\nin our country are well organised and well funded. We need to be able to\npresent a different vision for our future: the hope of a better, more equal and\nindependent Scotland.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because we know that what we\u2019ve got at the moment is not good\nenough. Scotland is being prevented from achieving its potential by a distant,\nremote and disconnected Westminster government that cannot and will not hear\nour voices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But we also know that more and more people are seeing the potential\nopportunities that independence offers. And, there is an increasing acceptance\nthat Scotland should have a say about its future.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So there is a lot of work to do: we must listen to people, we must\nhear their concerns. Together, we can find a way out of the chaos we find\nourselves in. This new post is crucial to this work: our Campaign Organiser\nwill work with all parts of the independence movement to facilitate the types\nof conversations we know we need to have to build support for independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or anyone you know would like more information about this,\nplease have a look at our <a href=\"https:\/\/voicesforscotland.scot\/are-you-our-next-campaign-organiser\/\">website <\/a>(<a href=\"https:\/\/voicesforscotland.scot\/are-you-our-next-campaign-organiser\/\">https:\/\/voicesforscotland.scot\/are-you-our-next-campaign-organiser\/<\/a>) or contact <a href=\"&#x6d;a&#x69;l&#x74;&#111;:&#x69;n&#x66;o&#x40;&#118;o&#x69;c&#x65;&#115;f&#x6f;r&#x73;c&#x6f;&#116;l&#x61;n&#x64;&#46;&#x73;&#x63;o&#x74;\">info&#64;v&#111;&#105;&#99;&#x65;&#x73;&#x66;&#x6f;&#x72;&#x73;&#x63;otland.&#115;&#99;&#x6f;&#x74;<\/a> for\nmore information.
