FOR FOOD AND FINANCIAL SOVEREIGNTY
FOR ECONOMIC AND CLIMATE JUSTICE:

*Cancel DEBT Now
*End IFI Conditionalities
*Pay the ECOLOGICAL DEBT to the South

Global hunger and the growing impact of climate change are dramatic symptoms of the persistent problem of debt domination.

Large debt service payments on both external and domestic debt claims mean that scarce resources are diverted from needed investments to insure food sovereignty and climate change protection. This is part of the injustice of the debt and for this alone debt cancellation, debt repudiation or other forms of nonpayment are urgent. 

We stand at a crossroads.  The facts are clear. Global climate change caused by human activities, is happening, threatening the lives an livelihoods of billions of people and the existence of millions o species.  Social movements, environmental groups, and scientists from al over the world are calling for urgent and radical action on climatechange.
