True Wales believes further powers should not be passed from Westminster to Cardiff The campaign against granting the Welsh assembly more law-making powers in the March referendum is to be officially launched.
True Wales describes itself as a grassroots movement opposed to devolving more law-making powers.
It will launch its No campaign at Newbridge Rugby Club, in Caerphilly county, later.
The Yes campaign, which is backed by all four main parties, was launched earlier this month.
True Wales spokeswoman Rachel Banner said: "This referendum is more than just a tidying-up exercise.
"We don't want more laws. What we need is for AMs to focus on education and health and the economy and to build up these things so we can have a prosperous Wales.
"We don't believe new laws will achieve that."
The campaign launch takes places at 1730 GMT.
The referendum will be held on 3 March.
It will be the third devolution referendum in Wales. The first, in 1979, saw proposals to create an assembly heavily defeated.
But the second, in 1997, resulted in a narrow Yes vote which led to the opening of the assembly in 1999.
