In 2025 DEBT will be a pivotal issue. I am working on crunching / analysing datasets on external debt, climate debt / atmospheric apropriation, failed aid promises, illicit financial flows, reparations etc - to get a big picture of Who Owes Who? I would welcome suggestions for sources / arguments!
Please add me ... it's great to see the growing numbers of people joining!
In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.
It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.
There should be no profit in education or healthcare.
It's been a powerful week at the Social Justice Leadership Programme in TCDC, Arusha, Tanzania. In these volatile times we all have something new to learn about community organising and building rooted campaigns.
"World leaders hear our plea. This isn't fiction; it's our daily reality. Stop fossil fuel extraction & take responsibility for the pollution." - ActionAid Vanuatu's Flora Vano, ahead of her testimony at the International Court Of Justice #ClimateChange hearing👇 www.actionaidusa.org/news/icj-cli...
This ActionAid briefing on links btw the debt crisis & the climate crisis is ever more relevant. In 2025 we need a massive campaign that links the unpaid climate debts of the Global North to cancellation of the unpayable but brutally enforced debts of the Global South actionaid.org/publications...
Colleagues from ActionAid & many allies in the climate justice movement are deeply disappointed at the outcomes on finance from #COP29 in #Baku. Now, we must fight for an overhaul of the global financing architecture at #FFD4 in Seville & on to #COP30 in Belem, Brazil actionaid.org/news/2024/ou...
So a reminder:
It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.
It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.
It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.
For the record.
Not a single person has been put on trial for killing 72 people at Grenfell.
But they can lock up non-violent protestors for 21 years, because they are a 'danger'.
The question is - raising tax on whom? Wealth tax, anyone? @patmillsuk.bsky.social
