ONE WEEK TO GO

Our broken, exploitative financial system has given us a lot to campaign for in the last years. From making sure soaring bills don’t turn the cost of living crisis into a debt crisis, to a change in law that will allow a debt jubilee for lower-income countries. Debt justice is social justice. 

That's why we're coming together on Saturday 16 September in Bristol, to tackle the issues you care about - join us! Book your place at the Debt Justice National Gathering.
 

When: Saturday 16 September

Where: The Station, Silver Street, Bristol, BS1 2AG

We’ve got a full day of workshops, talks, and planning sessions lined up, for anyone wanting to take action on unjust debt. 

Join us to hear from a host of inspiring speakers:

• Gargi Battacharyya, Professor of Sociology, will help explain how the global economy got to where it is today, and how the violent histories of slavery and empire continue to influence society.
• Find out the latest on the debt crisis facing 54 countries and why we can’t fight the climate crisis without addressing the debt crisis.
• Learn new campaign skills and plan actions together for key campaigns this autumn.
• Hear from campaigners at the frontline of the UK’s household debt crisis. Almost 13 million people in the UK are in serious debt, Yesmin Begum, campaigner with the Unfair Debt Group will share her experiences of campaigning and the need for grassroots activism.

Whether you’re a seasoned campaigner or have never taken action before, attending the National Gathering will help you skill up, learn more about debt, and meet new people.

The event is free to attend (although you’re welcome to make a donation), and if the cost of travel is a barrier we can pay for you to get to Bristol. We also have some limited accommodation if you’re coming from far away – get in touch by emailing [email protected] to find out if we can accommodate you.

And don't worry if you can't make it this time, we'll be holding more online events in the future, so keep your eyes peeled.

See you soon!

In solidarity,
Skye and the Debt Justice team
