Connolly 150 will organise a series of public engagements through the arts, culture and public discourse celebrating the life of James Connolly and the community of Edinburgh's Old Town which created James Connolly. 

· We seek to raise awareness through research, events, writing, community engagement and organising. 

· We are open to new and imaginative approaches to Connolly’s life and its relationship to working class and immigrant history.

· Connolly 150 has developed mutually supportive relationships with similar, existing organisations in Scotland and internationally. 

· We have also developed vital and positive relationships with trade unions and community organisations.

· Connolly 150 is an independent organisation. Affiliated to no political party or group.

· Established with the sole purpose of celebrating the life of James Connolly on the 150th anniversary of his birth.

· Connolly 150 events are open to all who wish to see James Connolly recognised and celebrated in Edinburgh and beyond.
