Being a debt vulture is a full-time job: Constantly on the hunt for countries in crisis, buying their debt for cheap, and chasing eye watering profits. And still finding time for self-care! 🧖♀️🫧 While this video's a joke, debt vultures aren't. Help us give them the exposure they'd rather avoid.
🏛️📣 A new PM and a new cabinet means a new opportunity to put debt justice on the agenda. We need MPs across the country to champion a debt justice law — one that grounds debt vultures for good and helps countries in crisis finally get their debt cancelled. Email your MP today ➡️ tinyurl.com/45cscr6n

🏴🇬🇭 On the pitch, England and Ghana play by the same rules. Off it, Ghana is stuck in a system that favours lenders. While some debt has been cancelled, private lenders keep moving the goalposts. The UK can change the rules. Tell them to take the shot ⚽ 🥅 tinyurl.com/3p9srd2k #TackleUnfairDebt
🇦🇷⚽ As Argentina gets ready to line up today, unjust debt is stealing extra time from its future. Since 2019, public spending has been slashed by 40% and education spending cut by 30%. That means fewer teachers, fewer classrooms, and less invested in the next generation. #TackleUnfairDebt
🇨🇮⚽ As Côte d'Ivoire takes to the field tonight, there's one goal worth more than any on the scoresheet: 100,000 children back in school. That’s what cancelling their debt could do. It's an open goal. Tell the UK government not to miss it ➡️ tinyurl.com/3p9srd2k #TackleUnfairDebt

Hundreds of councillors and candidates have pledged to stop using bailiffs to collect council tax debt 👏 And it's all thanks to the thousands of you who emailed your candidates ahead of the elections with one message: enough is enough.

HAPPENING LIVE While Bailiffs are having an awards ceremony patting themselves on the back for intimidating people who are struggling with debt, we're outside giving them hell. Bailiff use for council tax debt collection is wrong, archaic and is proven to be ineffective. #BanTheBailiffs

Cost of living crisis has driven a huge increase in the numbers of people contacting Citizens Advice for help with their debts – up 45% since 2021. This isn't an individual problem. It is structural and insidiously so. People on lower incomes are continually being punished, rather than supported.
This week is Debt Awareness Week. 🧵 "There’s no better way to justify relations founded on violence, to make such relations seem moral, than by reframing them in the language of debt – above all because it immediately makes it seem that it’s the victim who’s doing something wrong” - David Graeber
