Good to see Guardian's editoral calling for urgent and extensive debt relief as the only realistic way to tackle the global south debt crisis. #CancelTheDebt

'Debt pressures are forcing climate vulnerable countries to make incredibly self-destructive decisions...It leads them to expand fossil fuels & harmful industrial agriculture exports to pay off their debt.”

At the spring meetings World Bank
positions itself as a responsible channel for #ClimateFinance .

Meanwhile Climate Home News
finds that WB 'climate finance' is going to luxury hotels in Senegal instead of climate-hit communities nearby.

Bankers have refused to play ball when it comes to debt relief for Ghana and Sri Lanka this week. They want their superprofits even though they have already charged high interest rates. We need new laws to make them #CancelTheDebt

I attended the Debt Justice launch of their People's Manifesto yesterday. Powerful testimony from members of the panel that really stayed with me, including:

'The only coping mechanism, to carry on with life in debt, is to bury your head in the sand'.

More vital reporting on the growing issue of council tax debt and bailiff action.

Good to see people in debt platformed to tell their stories and to hear from debt campaigners that are fighting back and winning. Christians Against Poverty (CAP) UK ACORN Haringey

Thank you for coming! The Together Against Debt manifesto sets out the demands of people in debt to drive the changes that are needed in the debt system.
You can add your name to support these demands here: act.debtjustice.org.uk/peoples-manife…

A new law would make banks and hedge funds cancel Ghana’s debt. With 90% of the debts owed by lower income countries to banks, hedge funds and oil traders written in UK law, a new law here could help win debt justice youtu.be/xfhBDlpVr0Y

Sri Lankan civil society organisations and trade unions reject the 'cosmetic consultations' of the IMF, and call for

- a debt audit
- cancellation of odious debt
- much larger cancellation of debt than the IMF is proposing

It is no coincidence that we have both a poverty and household debt crisis in the UK. Poverty and insecurity cause debt and debt exacerbates poverty.

No more sticking plasters, we need serious solutions like these 👉 act.debtjustice.org.uk/peoples-manife…

We have released new shocking figures for #DebtAwarenessWeek showing record numbers of people in Britain are now falling behind on bills [1/3] theguardian.com/money/2024/mar…

So excited to see coverage in the The Guardian
today of the launch of Debt Justice Together Against Debt manifesto which brings together the collective demands of people in debt to change an unjust debt system

Happy #Ghana Independence day!!

Did you know that millions of people’s lives (in and outside of Ghana) are being destroyed by financial giants trapping their countries in #debt . A new UK law could change that.

Sign the petition for a #debt justice law!

🚨SHOCKING FACT: #Ghana has paid over $10BN in interest ALONE on debts to western lenders since 1970!!

Financial giants are trapping lower income countries in unjust debt. A new #debtjustice law could change that.

Did you know greedy lenders have forced dozens of countries like #Ghana into #debt crisis? A new #debt justice law in the UK could change that.

I just signed this petition to party leaders to #CancelTheDebt if elected, join me? act.debtjustice.org.uk/election-cance…

A really inspiring opening ceremony! Really looking forward to moderating the debt session with activists from Sri Lanka and Argentina at 230pm #AndStillWeRise
