A promotional video has been released for the upcoming March for Independence in Carmarthen later this month.
The march will take place on June 22 and last weekend, supporters gathered at Carmarthen Park to display a large banner before going door-to-door to hand out leaflets.
The event is jointly organised by YesCymru and AUOBCymru, two volunteer-led organisations fighting for an independent Wales.
Aled Williams from YesCymru Caerfyrddin said: “Embodying the courage and spirit of Merched Beca, we invite all supporters of an independent Wales to join us on June 22nd for the March for Independence in Carmarthen.
“We will be gathering at Carmarthen Park from 11am, with the march starting at 1pm. Bring your posters, flags, banners and drums—bring your passion, your family, and your friends.
“Let's make our voices heard as we march together 'all under one banner' for a brighter future for all who call Wales home.”
More than 50,000 leaflets have been distributed and a large banner featuring artwork by artist Meinir Mathias will lead the March for independence.
The March draws inspiration from Merched Beca and one of the most notable events of the Rebecca Riots was in June 1843 where thousands of protesters rallied under the banner ‘Justice and Lovers of Justice Are We All.’
Locals can also get involved in the protest through social media channels using the hashtags #AUOBCaerfyrddin, #indyWales, and #Annibyniaeth.
The promotional video is available on the YesCymru Facebook page.
More information about the March for Independence can be found on the YesCymru and AUOBCymru websites.
