Hello friend,
This weekend, on the eve of a critical United Nations conference, campaigners and activists in over forty countries marched to demand action on the debt crisis. In Seville, where the conference is being held, I joined thousands who took to the streets to make our voices heard.
The Financing for Development conference is a once in ten-year opportunity for lower-income countries to force the debt crisis onto the international agenda. But in the run up, the UK has played a shameful role, joining other rich countries to water down and then block urgent calls for action.
I’m appalled by this governments’ actions. But if anything has given me hope this weekend, it's been the sight of campaigners from countries around the world, including the UK, joining in solidarity to demand action on the debt crisis.
friend, watch and share the video showing how powerful we can be when we come together and demand our government do better.
