Closing plenary session,  Life Before Debt conference, 14th November 2015, London. 
(Organised by Jubilee Debt Campaign)

If there’s anything the last few years have taught us, it’s that the campaigning that worked in the 1990s and 2000s isn’t working anymore. Too often, governments dodge, brush off or simply ignore demands for economic justice, and our movements are unable to exert sufficient power to hold them to account. This closing session will explore how we win on debt justice and build a strong UK economic justice movement that can exert real influence at home and act in solidarity with allies around the world. What new methods and tactics do we need to learn or remember from the past? Who do we need to work with, and how do we work together to become more than the sum of our parts?
