In June 2024, I'll be creating and giving away 50 mini bouquets of flowers to celebrate and remember campaigners who've made our world a better place. To celebrate World Humanist Day (and thanks to funding from Humanist Society Scotland), each bouquet will be labelled with details of someone who's fought for the rights and freedoms we enjoy today.
This is your opportunity to nominate someone who you think should be remembered as part of our activist history. You can nominate anyone (and they may be living or dead), but I'm especially interested in people who were (or are):
In, of, or connected to Scotland
Campaigning for causes connected to freedom, equalities and fairness (such as feminist campaigns, LGBTQ rights, disabled access, civil rights, and so on)
Less likely to be remembered in formal history records - women, Black and people of colour, disabled campaigners, LGBTQ folk etc
Deserving of a wider audience for their work
I'd love to hear who you think should be remembered and celebrated; please use this form (which you can complete as many times as you like) to nominate people you think should be included. Details of the date and location of the give-away will be included here nearer the time.
