Name change for WDM

19 September 2014 by kate Leave a Comment

Some people will already know that WDM has been talking for a while about a possible name change. The”development” part of World Development Movement now has connotations many people aren’t happy with, and all those jokes about “WMD” aren’t exactly helping matters either. Luckily, we can now report that the proposed name change will become a reality!

As of 2015, World Development Movement (WDM) will be renamed Global Justice Now. Following a new naming pattern for local groups around the country, Oxford WDM will be renamed Global Justice Oxford.

The decision was officially made at WDM’s Annual General Meeting on Saturday 13th September. Support for the change was very strong, with 321 delegates voting in favour, 22 against and 14 abstaining. There will be a relaunch event in February, but for now, it’s time to start getting used to the new name!
