Why debt justice?
Debt has been used for centuries as a tool of exploitation - leading to increased poverty and inequality in the global south.
Debt is used in the UK to punish the poor in a system that is rigged for the rich and wealthy.
This injustice CAN be stopped

Tomorrow the chancellor faces a clear choice: allow millions to fall into crisis, or take meaningful steps: fix council tax, ban bailiffs, tackle energy costs. This budget should be the moment for this.

The Budget Must Address the Household Debt Crisis
The cost-of-living crisis isn’t over. Unemployment and bankruptcies are rising, and more than 10 million people are affected by growing household debt. This budget is a crucial moment for action.

Ahead of the UK budget, government debt has dominated headlines. Threat of a UK “debt crisis” is used to justify cuts in welfare and public services.

Climate justice means the Global North must cut emissions first and fastest and repay its ecological debt. It must provide public and non-debt-creating climate finance to the Global South.
Anything less is a denial of responsibility.
