Scottish Trades Union Congress St Andrews Day March

On 26th November 2022 the Scottish Trades Union Congress held a protest march through Glasgow city centre to raise awareness of refugee welfare and the work of Scotland's Black and multi-ethnic communities and allies against racism and the far right. Over one thousand marchers from various community action groups, trade unions and the Sheku Bayou Family Justice Campaign marched from Glasgow Green through the city centre to end with a rally in Bath Street. In the images shown here I’ve tried to capture the peaceful nature of the event, although there was a potential flashpoint when a taxi driver deliberately tried to drive through the procession, thankfully nothing came of it.
