Wed 27 September ‘The debt crisis: building solidarity, winning justice’. RISC 7.30 pm
Heidi Chow, Executive Director of Debt Justice, was our speaker. She explained how the rules of our economy are based on the interests of wealthy individuals, governments and corporations, who have turned people’s needs into a source of profit. Debt extracts high rates of interest from those who can least afford it. Heidi went on to show that a more just system requires radical system change to redress this exploitation.
