Come learn about the crippling effect of debt for countries in the Global South and how to rise up and demand debt cancellation for economic and climate justice.

DEBT for CLIMATE, U.S. is hosting an informative webinar with two knowledgeable guest presenters:

Mae Buenaventura - Asian Peoples' Movement on Debt and Development

Mae Buenaventura works with the Asian Peoples' Movement on Debt & Development, a regional alliance based in the Philippines that focuses on people-centered development, economic and environmental rights and justice as its contribution to social transformation. In particular, she manages the Debt Justice and Green Economic Rebuilding of APMDD, which sustains a long-standing struggle for debt cancellation especially of illegitimate debts.

Diana Cantarey - Debt for Climate, Latin America Coordinator

Join us to learn how debt is used to continue oppression and harm us all.

Also learn how you can resist these oppressive institutions in various ways, including taking action on October 21-27, at the IMF and World Bank in Washington D.C.  Those of us in the US have a particular responsibility to pressure our government, since the US Treasury Secretary has veto power within the IMF governing body.
