Here are six of the major themes that we believe are integral to our vision of Scotland now and in the future: 1. **Rebuilding**: How can we rebuild better after the pandemic? 2. **Freedom**: How can we safeguard Christian liberty, protect freedom of expression, and cultivate better relationships between Christians and politicians? 3. **Environment**: How can we act as better stewards of the natural environment? 4. **Addiction**: How can we best help those affected by addiction? 5. **Poverty**: How can we provide for our communities and eradicate poverty in Scotland? 6. **Justice**: How can we speak out for justice in Scotland and beyond? We will be joined by key candidates including as [Kate Forbes](https://www.parliament.scot/msps/current-and-previous-msps/kate-forbes) MSP, current cabinet secretary for finance and SNP member, [Murdo Fraser](https://www.parliament.scot/msps/current-and-previous-msps/murdo-fraser?qry=murdo%20fraser) MSP, former deputy leader of the Scottish Conservatives and current shadow cabinet secretary for finance, and [Ross Greer](https://www.parliament.scot/msps/current-and-previous-msps/ross-greer?qry=ross%20greer) MSP, member of the Scottish Greens.
