Pope Francis reminded us that, “if we really wish to prepare a path to peace in our world, we must commit ourselves to remedying the remote causes of injustice, settling unjust and unpayable debts”.

Together, we can honour Pope Francis’s legacy by urging decision makers to end the debt crisis and prioritise people and planet over mere profit. Sign Caritas’s petition to become part of a global call to Turn Debt into Hope.
