What YOU can do

Wear a yellow ribbon, like Pep Guardiola, in solidarity with the Catalan political prisoners.

Tweet your support: @usvolemacasa [we want you home], #LlibertatPresosPolítics [freedom for political prisoners]. There are images and pictures at https://cridademocracia.org/materials-campanya/


Write to the political prisoners. Current addresses are at https://usvolemacasa.cat/implicat/

Organise a debate, on democracy, free speech and the situation in Catalonia.
Motion: This House believes that the Spanish Government should release its political prisoners, and allow political exiles to return home.

Fly the Catalan independence flag from your home. You can get one here.


Make a donation to Clara Ponsatí's defence fund

Make a donation to the political prisoners' families fund, the Catalan Association for Civil Rights.  You can make a donation directly to their bank account:

Offer to help the Catalan National Assembly (ANC) in your country.

For Scotland, the contact is;
Escòcia per la independència escocia@assemblea.cat
For England;
Anglaterra per la independència england@assemblea.cat
 

Write to your MP, MSP, MEP and ask them to ask a Parliamentary Question. For example:
  1. What steps has the Foreign Minister taken to demand the release of political prisoners in Spain? 
  2. What representations will the Foreign Minister make to the Spanish Government to protest against the jailing of elected Catalan politicians?
  3. Does the Prime/First Minister regard the actions of the Spanish Government in jailing Catalan politicians as appropriate for a modern, democratic European state?
