In one month the European elections take place – the first where UK citizens won’t be able to vote because of Brexit. But while people in England opted to give up their seat in Europe, Scots have been deprived of a voice in the EU against their democratic will, as they voted overwhelmingly (62%) to remain.
With your help, Europe for Scotland’s team of activists across 17 EU states can make Scotland’s voice heard at these elections and ensure it’s part of the conversation about the upcoming EU enlargement.
MONEY RAISED SO FAR: £3250

Why do these elections matter to the people of Scotland?
After many years of stability, the EU is expanding again. Open accession talks are underway with Ukraine, Moldova and many more countries. This is a great opportunity to bring attention to Scotland’s unique situation, its place in Europe and the democratic injustice it faces.
As former European Council President Donald Tusk said in 2020, “I have no doubt everyone would be enthusiastic here in Brussels and more widely, more generally also in Europe if an independent Scotland rejoined the EU”.
So how can Scotland’s voice be heard, now that it’s been taken away by Brexit?
Our campaign is led by a dedicated group of individuals from across Europe who recognize the injustice of Brexit and stand in solidarity with Scotland. We believe that Scotland rejoining the EU would not only undo the damage of Brexit but also contribute to building a stronger, more inclusive Europe.
With your support, we can launch a bold campaign that highlights Scotland’s importance in the EU and advocates for Scotland’s rightful place at the European table.
By contributing to our crowdfunding campaign, you’ll be helping us fund:
- Strategic Outreach: We’ll activate our network of activists across 17 European states to garner support from prospective MEPs through official statements of solidarity.
- Digital Campaigns: We’ll launch targeted social media campaigns to amplify Scotland’s voice and reach a wider audience.
- Public Events: We’ll organize dedicated events to energize supporters and garner attention for our cause. For example, we are partnering with YSI for a Conference on Scotland’s European Future and we’ll be partaking in the March for Independence in September.
- Media Outreach: We’ll work with journalists and media outlets to ensure that Scotland’s perspective is heard in the press and on airwaves.
And the best thing is, we did the maths: all it would take is for the people who signed our petition to pitch in just £3!
For less than the cost of a latte, you can help us ensure that Scotland’s voice is heard loud and clear in the EU elections and beyond.
And there’s more – for every pound donated by our supporters, we aim to have it matched by our sponsors.
Let’s show the world that Scotland is ready to take its place on the European stage.
