Global Week of Action on Debt 10 October - 17 October 22

The world’s biggest financial institutions - the World Bank and the IMF, came together in Washington in October 2022, joined by Finance Ministers from the world’s twenty most powerful countries. 

This could have been a moment to tackle the growing global debt emergency that is preventing so many countries from confronting the climate crisis. But did they take it? No, they did not. 

The debt crisis is draining funds from lower income countries just when they need it most. All over the world interest rates are rising. And countries least responsible for the climate crisis are facing the biggest costs.

Here in the UK, we protested outside the World Bank office in London, in the Philippines hundreds of activists marched through the capital and in Washington people took to the streets outside the World Bank and IMF annual meetings.  

The people united, will never be defeated. 

This video was made by @EurodadVideos featuring @apmddyoutube @jubileesouthapmdd5904 and many others around the world on Thursday 13 October 2022, the global day of action on debt. Thousands of people took to the streets to demand #DebtJustice - the movement is growing. Sign up here to find out more: https://act.debtjustice.org.uk/get-latest-news
