It’s high time for action on the global debt crisis. Private lenders are acting like loan sharks - making billions in profit while lower-income countries are met with eye-watering borrowing costs and being sued when they can’t pay. [1]
For the 54 countries in debt crisis, this means less money for education, healthcare and climate. That’s why we’ve been part of a team putting together a new video to call out this predatory behaviour – and demanding action.
Will you help raise the alarm over private lenders’ role in the debt crisis by watching and sharing this new loan sharks video today?
Watch and share the video
This week, twenty world leaders from some of the richest countries are meeting to discuss their response to some of the biggest global challenges we face. The South African Presidency of the G20 group of nations said that tackling the debt crisis would be a priority. But so far, the group has failed to back the reforms needed.
friend, Prime Minister Keir Starmer is meeting world leaders in South Africa in a matter of days. Can you share the video and help amplify the demands for action on the debt crisis ahead of the G20 leader's summit?
Tonight, we’re joining allies to screen this video at a special event in Westminster where MPs will meet to discuss the debt crisis. The more the video gets shared, the clearer the message will be to decision-makers that this is an issue voters care about.
Campaigners and activists have been mobilising around the world as part of the biggest global debt movement in a generation. Together, we can make sure decision-makers around the globe hear our calls to Cancel Debt, Choose Hope.
In solidarity,
Wiz, Eva, Zak and everyone at Debt Justice
