Money Talks – Let’s Talk Debt

Debt Justice Webinar
📅 Date: 18 September
🕚 Time: 11h00 (UCT+2)
💻 Online on Zoom https://t.co/BrV2hWTNzz

Africa owes $746 billion in high-interest debt. This debt is used by the Global North as a tool to maintain the flow of cheap African raw materials from the continent. The result? African countries are forced to prioritise paying creditors at the expense of inclusive growth and sustainable development.

Join our Money Talks webinar as we discuss how you can help build popular demand for debt forgiveness and the place for research in debt justice activism.

Imagine an #Eskom that leads the way in producing solar panels, empowering communities, and rebuilding #SouthAfrica. Our current economy serves only a wealthy elite, leaving the rest of us to suffer the consequences.

A Future Powered by Us!
We can turn every home into a power station. With the right resources and a clear, integrated renewable energy plan, we can protect jobs at Eskom, safeguard mining communities, and create millions of new opportunities in a green economy. #GreenNewEskom

[HotSpot.Series @HotSpotSeries]

In the global south the effects of climate change are hitting hardest—droughts, livestock loss, and an increasingly uninhabitable planet. ⚠️ The call is clear: we must transform Eskom and shift to cleaner, more just energy solutions.
