Dear friend,

Millions of people in lower income countries are being robbed of an education and healthcare because greedy lenders trap their countries in debt. But a new debt justice law could change that. 

This year we have a real chance to make it happen – we know a general election will be called in 2024, meaning politicians will want to hear about the issues that matter to us. The more of us that act, the louder our call will be to cancel the debt. So add your name now – it takes just 30 seconds!    

Across dozens of lower income countries, people’s lives are being destroyed by financial giants trapping their countries in unjust debt. In Ghana, one of the 54 countries in debt crisis, people have been on the streets protesting the high cost of living in what has been called “the worst economic crisis for a generation”, brought on by the huge levels of national debt.  

It doesn’t have to be this way. The UK government is in a rare position get debt cancelled for countries like Ghana - because 90% of the debts owed by lower income countries to financial giants are controlled right here, in the UK!

This is our opportunity to make sure whichever party next gets the keys to Downing Street has dropping the debt high on their to-do list – by committing to bring in a debt justice law if they get into power.

Add your name to the petition and let’s make this issue impossible for them to ignore. 

An election this year gives us a rare opportunity to push debt cancellation onto the political agenda. Together we can win justice for millions of people in countries like Ghana and force private lenders to cancel unfair debt.  

Thank you for standing together to end unjust debt, 

Wiz, Eva, Zak and everyone at Debt Justice 

PS it takes just 30 seconds to add your name to the petition for a new debt justice law. Together we can bring about real change
