The Campaign to Cancel the Debt is organising a major demonstration in London on July 13 to 'greet the Group of Seven (richest nations) summit taking place the following week.
The campaign, which demands unconditional cancellation of the debt,and end to the structural adjustment World Bank and a just and fair international economy, involves activists many solidarity campaigns. A parallel organisation is being set up in Scotland which is planning a demonstration in Edinburgh on the same day.
Following a successful fringe meeting at NUS conference last week, it is vital that students are mobilised in the colleges around this issue. Initiatives to build for the demonstration need to be planned in as many cities as possible and support built through Labour parties and trade unions.
Organising such a major event costs a good deal of money, particularly as we want to involve speakers and performers of all kinds to celebrate resistance against oppression and debt in many different countries.
