Activity

Founding

The organisation was set up as a similar organisation and inspired by All Under One Banner in Scotland.[2]

Their first march was held in Cardiff on 11 May 2019, attracting thousands of participants.[3][4]

Marches and parades

Initial marches and parades were held in Cardiff, Caernarfon and Merthyr Tydfil in May 2019.

Subsequent marches scheduled for 2020 had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6]

AUOB announced they would be organising two independence marches in 2022.[7] The first was held in Wrexham on 2 July.[8] Thousands attended a march in Cardiff on 1 October.[9]

The first ever independence march in Swansea will take place on 20 July 2023.[10]
