In the lead-up to FfD4, join coordinated online and in-person mobilizations demanding debt cancellation, economic and climate justice, and systemic change. These actions are organized globally by allied movements including APMDD and CAN-International, with a shared message: Cancel the Debt, Change the System.
As the world is confronted by multiple, overlapping and escalating crises — climate breakdown, deepening poverty, rising inequalities, crushing debt burdens, and shrinking democratic spaces – we are all faced with two related challenges:
Mobilizing urgently needed financial resources at the necessary scale and speed and in ways that are just, equitable, and accountable – not only to survive the multiple crises but to build a new and better world, and making profound changes in the international financial system not only to mobilize finance but to stop the enormous and continuing hemorrhaging of wealth and natural resources from the Global South to the Global North. If this is not stopped, mobilization of finance for the Global South will have little impact.
Now more than ever, our solidarity and collective action are needed. This world is ours; we must escalate our fights to reclaim it, defend our rights, rise for justice, and change the system so that the needs, interests, rights, and aspirations of peoples everywhere are prioritized over the profits of corporations and the excess of elites.
A mobilization toolkit with posters, messaging, and social media resources is available here.
