Hi friend,
The holidays are fast approaching - a perfect time to cosy up, recharge, and reflect on the year gone by. If you’re looking for something meaningful to watch, read, or listen to between the festivities, we’ve got just the thing.
Our handpicked blog, video and podcast selection dives into the global debt crisis. From how policies here in the UK can impact lower-income countries, to how the crisis is rooted in Europe’s colonial past, these resources will inspire, inform and remind us of the power we have to drive change.

** Colonialism Never Ended – It Just Became Debt
------------------------------------------------------------

Fifty-four countries in the global south are trapped in a $1 trillion debt crisis. It’s no accident - this is by design. When many nations gained independence, they were handed a bill, not a fresh start. Former imperial powers in Europe trapped them in financial systems specifically built to extract wealth and keep them dependent on former colonisers. Watch our Senior Policy Officer, Tess Woolfenden, talk about how colonialism never really ended.

In his blog, released just before the November UK budget, our Director of Policy, Tim Jones, explains why UK government debt is not like the debt of lower-income countries, and why the UK needs to pass a new debt justice law.
