YesCymru is proud to unveil a major new edition of Independence in Your Pocket (Annibyniaeth yn Dy Boced), to be launched at this weekend’s Tafwyl festival in Cardiff.
This is the first significant update to the booklet in four years, and it marks a complete overhaul of the popular publication, offering a more detailed, better-referenced, and more accessible guide to Welsh independence than ever before.
The Case for Independence
Owen Donovan, who has been closely involved with the project from the outset and writes about independence at stateofwales.com, said:
"All journeys have a beginning, middle and end. While growing numbers of us know that independence is the right road for Wales to be on, we can't use a blank map. We need to have an idea of where we're going.
"This refreshed booklet seeks to answer some of the most commonly asked questions about Welsh independence and what it would mean for all of us."
The updated bilingual booklet includes a significantly wider range of topics, addressing many of the most frequently asked questions about what independence could mean for Wales.
For the first time, both the printed and online versions feature references, allowing readers to explore the evidence behind the arguments. The online edition is now a living document, designed to be regularly updated to reflect new data, developments, and political changes.
YesCymru Chair Phyl Griffiths said:
“I'm delighted to see the return of Independence in Your Pocket – not just with a brand new cover, but with fully revamped content that makes it more accessible, engaging and persuasive than ever. I'm sure this edition will spend far less time in pockets and far more in the hands of engrossed readers. Get your copy this weekend at Tafwyl and see if you agree.”

The booklet will be launched this weekend at Tafwyl and will be available to buy for just £5 from the YesCymru stand. Designed for anyone curious about Welsh independence, it serves as an informative, clear and compelling introduction, grounded in evidence and real-world questions.
