Civil society action at FfD4.

FfD4 took place from June 30 - July 3 in Sevilla, Spain. On the close of FfD4, civil society gathered to make it clear to delegates: while the FfD4 outcome document, the Compromiso de Sevilla, failed to reflect the ambition needed, the fight for economic justice continues. Throughout the conference, civil society gave interventions ([link removed]) on the lack of ambition in the outcome document as well as presented the Civil Society Forum Declaration ([link removed]) .

Ahead of FfD4, GATJ spoke at the Civil Society Forum organised by the CS FfD Mechanism, the Feminist Forum, and participated in the Global Days of Action to Pay Up! Cancel the Debt! Change the System! Around the world, thousands of people mobilised to demand global economic justice, including at the civil society march ([link removed]) in Sevilla.
