friend, I’d love to know: why do you believe unjust debt should be cancelled?


Together we’re gearing up for a seismic year: a general election and a rare chance to change the law to force greedy lenders to cancel debt across lower income countries.


So friend tell me why you’re on the team and what we should do together in 2024, in this quick survey – here’s the first question:


Why should big banks and hedge funds cancel debt? Select your number one reason:

Lenders shouldn’t profit from poverty
Countries need money to fight the climate crisis
It’s destroying millions of lives
Another reason…

Right now, 54 lower income countries are in a debt crisis – left without the means to tackle climate change or pay for essential services like health and education.


Countries like Ghana and Zambia are trapped in a cycle of debt by the world’s richest banks, who pocket millions in profit in repayments and interest.


It doesn’t have to be like this: 90% of the lending to lowest income countries is enforced through the UK courts. We could force banks to cancel the debt – we just need to update an old law.


Having the chance to wipe debt in the global south is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. So it’s time to share your priorities and motivations, so we can create an expert campaign plan that we’ve all built together.


There are just five questions and it’ll take about 60 seconds. Here’s that first question again, friend...
