Zambia is in the middle of a huge debt crisis.  

Right now, the Zambian government is negotiating with BlackRock and other lenders to get some of its huge amount of unjust debt written off.  

In solidarity with Zambian campaigners, we are going to BlackRock HQ in the City of London next week to hand in our petition. Make sure you sign the petition before then, so we can show the strength of our numbers. 

BlackRock is one of Zambia’s biggest lenders. During the pandemic they refused the request to suspend debt repayments, alongside other big global banks. Sky high interest rates mean that Zambians are due to pay back double what was initially borrowed. BlackRock stand to make massive profits if they are paid back in full.  

That’s why we need people power to make sure they cancel the debt. Would you sign the petition and call on BlackRock to #CancelZambiasDebt?

We are taking this petition to BlackRock HQ next week – we hope that you can add your name to show that people in the UK are standing in solidarity with Zambian people to call on the financial giant to cancel the debt.  

In solidarity,

Zak and the whole Debt Justice team
