Yes Campaign (Catalan: Campanya del Sí) is a Catalan campaign made up of different organisations and individuals campaigning in favor for a Yes vote in the 2017 Catalan independence referendum. It was launched on 3 August 2017.
It was originally set to take place again in 2014, shortly before the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, but it was called off as "the focus [in 2014] has got to be on persuading the many undecided voters all over Scotland, crucially in their own communities, and that will call for different types of events".
Galiano also said that each future referendum could cost around $63,000, with $28,000 for a vote-by-mail election and $35,000 for an “education campaign” to inform the residents.

The official Yes campaign, Yes for Wales, was supported by Labour, the Liberal Democrats and Plaid Cymru, though they also ran their own individual campaigns.

The campaign was supported by the SNP, [52] the Scottish Green Party (which also created "its own pro-independence campaign to run alongside Yes Scotland") [53] and the Scottish Socialist Party. At its launch, Salmond stated that he hoped one million people in Scotland would sign a declaration of support for independence. [54]
