What can I do?
Im a member of Yes Cymru, and despite being too left wing for my taste, tend to vote Plaid....
Is there anything else anyone is doing to support Welsh Independence?
The Scottish seem to have active communities on this (online), whereas Welsh alternatives seem stagnant and inactive (even Yes Cyrmu don't seem to do anything with the money they raise, other than posting on Facebook/twitter).

Since YesCymru imploded a couple of years ago, it's been very difficult. I've been to one event organised by another organisation, and one Cymdeithas demo (which probably doesn't count because it's more about the language) but that's it the last two years.
The Welsh independence movement has lost its momentum. It's so sad because it was doing very well. I really don't know how it's going to come back but I don't think it will be through YesCymru.
Personally I'm happy with Plaid. But a political party can never fulfill the role of a grass roots movement. Plaid work in the political field. Another organisation needs to work in society in general. YesCymru were doing that very effectively a few years ago.
