MEET WITH YOUR MP AND ASK THEM TO BACK A NEW LAW TO STOP COWBOY LENDERS
Right now, countries in debt crisis are being held to ransom by big banks and hedge funds. These lenders are acting like cowboys - making millions in interest payments while lower income countries are left without enough money to pay for health and education, and to respond to the climate crisis.
But we’ve got a chance to stop cowboy lenders holding countries to ransom.
Incredibly, UK law plays a key role in enforcing debt contracts - 90% of the lending for the poorest countries is enforced through UK courts. That means we can push for a new law to make cowboy lenders cancel debt.
Meet with your MP and get them to back the new law. You don’t have to have done anything like this before – we have tons of resources, trainings, and support to help you get the most out of your meeting.
Once you’ve signed up, we’ll send you an email with everything you need to know.
