Yes Cowal Scottish Independence Podcast

Christmas Special:  Merry Christmas from Clackmannanshire Women for Independence!  As we turn on the fairly lights for the strangest Christmas most of us will ever have spent, we reflect on a year of zoom based activism.  We've had to learn whole new ways of communicating and campaigning and we've still had lots of fun along the way!   If anyone would like to get in touch, especially fellow WFIs, we would love to hear from you about how you have managed to keep campaigning during this Covid19 challenge and your plans for 2021, email me at fiona@indylive.radio
