We talk about how local trades union councils and local communities need to be speaking out now &#8211; as should their elected representatives. We say that we need is local democracy that can provide services for the people \u2013 not profit for speculators and that we need an entire generation of Mary Barbour&#8217;s to rise up and fight for it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A Defence of Community Wealth Building | ROSE\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l7QTEW5C9m0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Public Ownership | ROSE\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TZHBNS9evlc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"public-ownership\">Public Ownership<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In this video, we express our support for the STUC\u2019s People\u2019s Recovery programme that calls for public ownership of utilities. We talk about how our Scottish Parliament needs these powers of economic intervention. We call on the current Scottish government to defend basic services from exploitation by big business and demand that the Westminster government amend the terms of the Single Market Act to regain these powers for use in Scotland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"progressive-federalism\">Progressive Federalism<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In this short video, we explain what the concept behind progressive federalism is.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Progressive Federalism | ROSE\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KUfVMCaf_IA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ROSE Video Explainers You can find the latest ROSE video explainers here or on our YouTube Channel which you can find at this link National Sovereignty for Scotland National sovereignty in its full sense \u2013 the economic and political freedom to run your country as you democratically choose &#8211; has been put firmly back in&hellip;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/rose-scotland.org\/?page_id=532\" rel=\"bookmark\">Read More &raquo;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Video Explainers<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":569,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-532","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rose-scotland.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/532","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rose-scotland.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rose-scotland.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rose-scotland.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rose-scotland.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=532"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/rose-scotland.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/532\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":856,"href":"https:\/\/rose-scotland.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/532\/revisions\/856"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rose-scotland.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rose-scotland.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
