New government, new opportunities

(View online) ([link removed])
friend – this morning, we are waking up to a new political landscape.

The Labour party has won the election. I am excited about what this means for winning debt justice because a new government opens new opportunities for our campaigns.

Supporters like you have played a huge part in pushing the issue of unjust debt onto the agendas of all parties. You made sure that MP candidates heard about our Together Against Debt People’s Manifesto to tackle the household debt crisis.

And you got the attention of party leaders on how a new debt justice law could force greedy lenders to the negotiation table and ensure debt cancellation for lower-income countries.

Because of your tireless campaigning, the Labour party made “tackling unsustainable debt” in lower income countries a key priority in their election manifesto.

Now that they are in government, together we can make sure they keep this manifesto pledge.

We also wouldn’t have got here without the generosity of debt justice donors – to whom I am continuously so grateful. And that’s why, as we prepare the next steps of our campaigns, I want to ask if you would join us on the next phase of our journey together with a regular gift ([link removed]) . Together we can take advantage of the new political landscape to win real solutions to unjust debt!

Yes, here’s my regular support ([link removed])
As we navigate this new political context, what hasn’t changed is the importance of building solidarity to create the change we all need. This means standing shoulder to shoulder with communities experiencing poverty and exploitation because of unjust debt. And taking their leadership and amplifying their demands to win systemic change.

You’ve already played a big part in laying the foundations to respond to the new political opportunities in front of us. I now look forward to the next part of our journey, as we push out the boundaries of what is possible together.

I’m not saying it’s going to be easy. We still have so much to do but I really believe that the fight for debt justice is so inextricably linked to winning economic, climate and racial justice. And when we come together to build movements and take actions based on solidarity and resistance, we are powerful!

In solidarity
