Dear friend,

Since we launched our campaign for a new law to Stop Cowboy lenders, thousands of us have written to our MPs demanding action. This new law could force big banks and hedge funds to cancel the debt of lower income countries. 

And we’re making some real progress, we’ve been offered a meeting with some of the policymakers who would be responsible for making the law a reality

Find out more: join us on 21 June

But we need to keep up the pressure and make sure they get the message loud and clear about why this new law is so important. 54 countries are in debt crisis. We’re hearing every day from allies on the frontline, Teyonna Delice-Meyers from the Caribbean Policy Development Centre recently told us:  

‘We in the Caribbean urge our friends in the UK to support a new law that requires private lenders to participate in debt restructuring initiatives’. 

That’s why we’ve organised a special online event, at 6.30pm on the 21 June, so you can find out more about what would be in the new law and hear directly from activists in Zambia and Barbados about the impact of the debt crisis.  

You're invited: Wednesday 21 June

We’re holding this event on the eve of an important summit being held in Paris on debt and the climate crisis. So much is at stake, but instead of just cancelling debt to help countries deal with the climate crisis, rich countries are pushing more loans.

It’s a scandal, we need real solutions like a new law to Stop Cowboy Lenders, not more loans

As ever, thank you so much for everything you do!  

We hope to see you there.  

In solidarity,  

Eva, Zak, Tim and the whole Debt Justice team

PS. If you haven't already, write to your MP to stop cowboy lenders
