#CancelTheDebt Giving evidence in Parliament to why we need debt cancellation now

On Tuesday 14 June, Tim Jones, Jason Braganza and Mae Buenaventura were invited to provide evidence to the International Development Select Committee on debt relief in lower income countries.

Going in with the backing of thousands of supporters, we told MPs that the only way for lower income countries to fight the debt crisis, affecting over 50 countries right now, is to compel banks and financial players like BlackRock to cancel the debt.

We exposed BlackRock in parliament for refusing to cancel or suspend any debts while seeking to make large profits from Zambia’s crisis. They were invited to provide evidence, but had declined.
