=== Response to the 2011 Census results === Following the 2011 Census results, the group held a series of rallies across Wales. In the first rally in {{lang|cy|[[Caernarfon]]}} in December 2012, the group published its ''{{lang|cy|{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20130319004228/http://cymdeithas.org/livingmanifesto Maniffesto Byw]}} }}'' (Living Manifesto) which outlined tens of policies designed to strengthen the language. The society launched the "''{{lang|cy|Dwi eisiau byw yn Gymraeg}}''" (I want to live in Welsh) slogan at the same rally. On 6 February 2013 and 4 July 2013, deputations of the society met First Minister Carwyn Jones to press for urgent policy changes in light of the Census results. A revised version of the ''{{lang|cy|Maniffesto Byw}}'' was published in July 2013, following a public consultation and an extraordinary general meeting when a number of amendments to the manifesto were adopted. In August 2013, the group wrote to the First Minister Carwyn Jones, giving him six months to state his intention to deliver {{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20140327234555/http://cymdeithas.org/6things six policy changes]}} for the benefit of the language: # ''{{lang|cy|Addysg Gymraeg i Bawb}}'' (Welsh-medium Education for All) # ''{{lang|cy|Tegwch Ariannol i'r Gymraeg}}'' (Financial Fairness for the Welsh language) # ''{{lang|cy|Gweinyddu'n fewnol yn Gymraeg}}'' (Internal Government in Welsh) # ''{{lang|cy|Safonau Iaith i Greu Hawliau Clir}}'' (Language Standards to Create Clear Rights) # ''{{lang|cy|Trefn Cynllunio er budd ein Cymunedau}}'' (A Planning System for the benefit of our Communities) # ''{{lang|cy|Y Gymraeg yn greiddiol i Ddatblygu Cynaliadwy}}'' (Welsh as central to Sustainable Development) Carwyn Jones had made no such statement of intent by 1 February 2014, and the group started a direct action campaign and held a series of protests across the country.
