About Undod

Who Are We?

We are a democratic, socialist republican movement established to secure independence for Wales.

Undod means ‘unity’ or ‘solidarity’ in Welsh. For too long, the working class of Wales has been deliberately divided and set against one another on the basis of language, place, race, disability and gender. In reality, the issues facing the working class people of Wales, regardless of where we live, our language, our colour, our gender, our sexuality or our religion, all stem from the same root: neoliberal capitalism administered by the British state and administered by the Welsh devolution settlement.

One of the reasons we decided to call ourselves Undod was as a permanent reminder that the working class have more in common with one another than they do with the political and business elites in this country. Our members come from all parts of Wales and beyond and we are informed by the various left traditions found here and internationally. We are trade unionists, community organisers, language activists, environmentalists, peace campaigners and many more. We believe that a broad coalition of the left working together is essential to building a vision of independence that is both meaningful and effective. Unity is strength!
