Dear friend,
Our second webinar in the coronavirus and debt series is out now.
Campaigners from all over the UK tuned in to listen to speakers from the global south talk about the impact Covid-19 has had in their countries, how they are campaigning for debt cancellation and what action we can take.
Missed it?
Don't worry, we've got it recorded so you don't have to miss out.

Hear from:
- Chenai Mukumba, Director of CUTS International in Lusaka, Zambia – Zambia is on the verge of defaulting, spending on public services has fallen by a fifth since 2015.
- Abdul Khaliq, CADTM Pakistan – Pakistan’s long-term debt crisis has been exacerbated by the pandemic, and its government has been vocal in calling for debt relief.
- Patricia Miranda, Global Advocacy Director for LATINDADD – South America has been described as the new centre of the pandemic, and many countries are now in debt distress.
- Tim Jones, Head of Policy at Jubilee Debt Campaign – The UK plays a huge role, with many private debts owed under UK law as well as the influence the government exerts internationally.
