crowdfunder.co.uk/p/john-maclean… CAMPAIGN FOR A JOHN MACLEAN STATUE - CROWDFUNDER IS NOW LIVE 🔊 Welcome everyone to the campaign for a statue of John Maclean, Glasgow's famous revolutionary socialist who spoke up for the working class and against the imperialist madness of WWI. (1)

crowdfunder.co.uk/p/john-maclean… The campaign has been running for a while and through crowdfunding has raised 29% of the target. As such, we are launching this next crowdfunder on 24th August, the anniversary of Maclean's birthday, with the intention of raising the remaining funds. (2)

crowdfunder.co.uk/p/john-maclean… We had a meeting with GCC and reached agreement for the statue to be sited at the Saltmarket facing the High Court, with inscription: "I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot." (4)



crowdfunder.co.uk/p/john-maclean… This is why the campaign is on, as a public statue of Maclean will be a victory for the working class, a thorn in the side of the British establishment, and a focal point and beacon for the changes that we want to see in Scotland, and Internationally. (7)
